- PM-KUSUM 2.0 is an informal name for a reported next phase — not a notified scheme.
- As of June 2026 it is in consultation and unconfirmed; verify with MNRE.
- The ~₹50,000 crore outlay and ~10 GW agrivoltaics targets are reported, not finalised.
- Agrivoltaics means crops and solar on the same land at once.
- Keep bidding the live A, B and C tenders today; do not over-commit to 2.0 yet.
- Treat every 2.0 figure as an estimate to confirm with the latest MNRE order.
PM-KUSUM 2.0 is the talk of the agri-solar market, but the honest answer in June 2026 is that it is not finalised. Industry and news reports describe a bigger, agrivoltaics-led next phase. MNRE has not notified it. Here is how to read the signal without betting your business on it.
What PM-KUSUM 2.0 is
PM-KUSUM 2.0 is the informal name people use for a reported next phase of the PM-KUSUM scheme. It is not an official, notified programme. The name comes from media coverage and industry talk about expanding agri-solar and adding agrivoltaics, where crops and solar share the same land.
The current scheme already has three live components. PM-KUSUM 2.0 would, in theory, build on them. But until the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) issues guidelines, the scope, the money and the rules are all open questions. Read the live scheme first in our components A, B and C guide.
The current status (June 2026)
As of June 2026, PM-KUSUM 2.0 is in consultation and unconfirmed. That is the most important line on this page. Reports describe a roughly ₹50,000 crore outlay and a target near 10 GW of agrivoltaics, but these figures are not part of a notified scheme. Treat them as reported, not finalised.
We are not presenting PM-KUSUM 2.0 as finalised. As of 19 June 2026, it is in consultation. The outlay (~₹50,000 crore) and agrivoltaics target (~10 GW) are reported and unconfirmed. Always verify the current status, scope and figures with the latest MNRE order and the PM-KUSUM National Portal before you act.
What is being discussed
The discussion points to a larger, modernised phase of agri-solar with agrivoltaics at the centre. The table separates what is being talked about from what is actually confirmed, so you do not mistake one for the other.
Source: media and industry reports as of June 2026. Nothing here is a notified scheme. Verify with the latest MNRE order.
What agrivoltaics means
Agrivoltaics means growing crops and generating solar power on the same land at the same time. You raise the panels on tall structures, or space them in rows, so sunlight and rain still reach the crops below. The farmer keeps farming and earns from power too.
Why it fits PM-KUSUM
PM-KUSUM Component A puts small solar plants on farm or barren land. The worry is losing farmland to panels. Agrivoltaics answers that worry: the land does double duty. That is why a future phase could push agrivoltaic designs for Component A. The exact height, spacing and crop rules are still emerging, so verify any agrivoltaics requirement with the state nodal agency.
How it differs from today's PM-KUSUM
Today's PM-KUSUM is real, funded and running through three components you can bid on now. A future 2.0 phase is a possibility, not a programme. The difference is simple: one pays you today, the other might pay you later.
- Live now: Components A (ground-mounted plants), B (off-grid pumps) and C (solarising grid pumps).
- Reported for 2.0: larger scale, more money and an agrivoltaics push — unconfirmed.
- Delivery channel: both would still run through state nodal agencies and DISCOMs.
- Your action: win on the current scheme; track MNRE for the new one.
The EPC opportunity if 2.0 lands
If a 2.0 phase is notified, the opportunity for EPCs is more volume and a new skill: agrivoltaic design. EPCs who already deliver clean Component A and C projects would be best placed to scale. The state delivery model would likely stay, so your empanelments and relationships keep their value.
Agrivoltaics also opens design and O&M work that simple plants do not need — taller mounting, crop-friendly layouts and longer service. Read where the current margin sits in our feeder solarisation guide to judge how a bigger phase might change your mix.
How to prepare now — without over-committing
The smartest preparation costs little and helps you either way. Build strength on the live scheme and stay ready to scale, but do not spend on a phase that is not notified.
- Win the current tenders — a clean A/B/C track record is the best 2.0 qualification.
- Watch MNRE — check the ministry and the portal for the actual notification.
- Tidy your compliance — keep DCR and ALMM documents and empanelments current.
- Learn agrivoltaics basics — read up, but do not buy special kit until rules are firm.
- Keep state ties warm — your SNA relationships carry into any new phase.
The risk of jumping in early
Acting on an unconfirmed scheme is the main risk. If you buy land, equipment or services for a 2.0 design that never lands, or lands with different rules, you carry the loss. Reported figures like the ₹50,000 crore outlay can change or disappear before any guideline is issued.
Be careful with anyone selling "PM-KUSUM 2.0 registration" or guaranteed allocations today. There is no notified scheme to register for. Verify every claim against the latest MNRE order, and treat the numbers on this page as estimates to confirm.
How SuryaHub helps you stay ready
The best way to be ready for a new phase is to run the current one well. SuryaHub keeps your tenders, empanelments, compliance documents and project data in one place through government workflows and project management, so when MNRE notifies a new phase you can scale fast instead of scrambling. SuryaHub is pre-revenue; the only real pilots are Suryantra Energy and RGESPL, and any PM-KUSUM 2.0 figures here are reported and unconfirmed.

Frequently asked questions
What is PM-KUSUM 2.0?+
PM-KUSUM 2.0 is the informal name used for a reported next phase of the PM-KUSUM scheme that may expand agri-solar and add agrivoltaics. As of June 2026, PM-KUSUM 2.0 is in consultation and not formally notified, so treat the name and scope as unconfirmed and verify the current status with MNRE.
Is the ₹50,000 crore PM-KUSUM 2.0 outlay confirmed?+
No. The roughly ₹50,000 crore outlay linked to PM-KUSUM 2.0 has been reported in the media and industry discussions, but as of June 2026 it is unconfirmed and not part of a notified scheme. Do not plan a business on this figure; verify the current outlay and status with MNRE and the official portal.
What is agrivoltaics in PM-KUSUM?+
Agrivoltaics means growing crops and generating solar power on the same land at once, by raising the panels so farming continues underneath. In a PM-KUSUM context, agrivoltaics could let a Component A plant share land with crops. The design rules are still emerging, so verify any agrivoltaics requirements with the state nodal agency.
How is PM-KUSUM 2.0 different from PM-KUSUM?+
The current PM-KUSUM scheme has three live components, A, B and C, that EPCs bid on today. PM-KUSUM 2.0 is a reported future phase that may add scale and agrivoltaics, but it is unconfirmed as of June 2026. Until MNRE notifies it, keep working under the current PM-KUSUM rules and verify any change.
Should an EPC prepare for PM-KUSUM 2.0 now?+
An EPC should build skill on the current PM-KUSUM scheme and watch MNRE for notifications, but should not over-commit to PM-KUSUM 2.0 while it is unconfirmed. The safest prep is strong delivery on live A, B and C tenders today. Verify any new phase with MNRE before you invest in it.
How does SuryaHub help with PM-KUSUM 2.0 readiness?+
SuryaHub keeps your tenders, empanelments, compliance documents and project data in one place, so you can scale fast when a new PM-KUSUM phase is notified. SuryaHub is pre-revenue; the only real pilots are Suryantra Energy and RGESPL, and any PM-KUSUM 2.0 figures here are reported and unconfirmed.
