- Each state runs PM-KUSUM through its own state nodal agency (SNA).
- The SNA empanels vendors, floats tenders and clears subsidy.
- You bid with the SNA of the state where the work is, on its portal.
- The table below maps 16+ states to SNA, DISCOM and portal.
- Agency names and links change — verify current with the SNA before you bid.
PM-KUSUM is one national scheme, but it runs through many doors. Each state hands the scheme to its own state nodal agency, and that agency decides who can bid, on which portal, for what price. So the first thing an EPC needs is a map: which agency runs PM-KUSUM in which state, and where its tenders go live. This page is that map.
What is a PM-KUSUM state nodal agency?
A state nodal agency, or SNA, is the state body that runs PM-KUSUM on the ground. It is usually the state's renewable-energy development agency. The SNA empanels vendors, floats tenders, sets prices and clears subsidy claims. MNRE makes the scheme rules, but the SNA puts them to work in its state.
SNA, DISCOM and MNRE — who does what
Three names show up in every PM-KUSUM tender. MNRE is the central ministry that owns the scheme and its specs. The SNA is the state agency that empanels you and runs the tender. The DISCOM is the power-distribution company that often hosts Component-C work and signs the supply paperwork. You deal mostly with the SNA, but the DISCOM matters for grid-tied jobs.
Why the right SNA matters for your bid
Picking the wrong door wastes weeks. PM-KUSUM rules, prices, empanelment fees and portals all change from state to state, so a bid built for one SNA may not fit another. An EPC that knows its target state's SNA early can empanel, gather the right papers and bid on time.
One scheme, many rulebooks
The core scheme is national, but each SNA tweaks the details. Some open tenders only to empanelled vendors. Some set their own price ceilings. Some use a state e-tender site instead of their own. Treat each state as its own project with its own rulebook.
State-by-state SNA directory
Here is the core reference: each major state mapped to its nodal agency, its DISCOM and where its tenders or empanelment notices go live. Use it to find the right door fast. Every name and link is a starting point to verify current with the agency.
How to read the directory table
Read each row as one state's door. The SNA column is who empanels you and runs the tender. The DISCOM column is the power company tied to grid work and supply paperwork. The portal column is where the notice and bid usually go live.
The columns, in plain terms
- State — the state where the solar-pump or plant work sits.
- Nodal agency (SNA) — the agency you empanel and bid with; verify current.
- DISCOM — the distribution company for grid-tied and Component-C jobs.
- Where tenders / portal — the site to watch for notices; verify current.
Some states route tenders through a shared state e-tender site, like saralharyana.gov.in in Haryana or energy.rajasthan.gov.in in Rajasthan, while others use the SNA's own page. Always open the live link before you trust it.
The national portals — SECI and the PM-KUSUM site
Two national doors sit above the states. The PM-KUSUM national portal (pmkusum.mnre.gov.in) is MNRE's dashboard, with progress data and links out to state pages. It is a good map, but it is not where most tenders live.
SECI's role
SECI (seci.co.in) is the central agency that runs some PM-KUSUM tenders directly and publishes the model bid documents many SNAs copy. So even when you bid with a state SNA, the format often traces back to SECI. Watch SECI for central tenders and use its model documents to learn the standard bid shape.
Where PM-KUSUM tenders actually go live
PM-KUSUM tenders mostly go live on the SNA's own e-procurement portal, with some on shared state e-tender sites and a few central ones on SECI. There is no single feed, so you watch several doors at once.
A simple watch routine
- Bookmark each target state's SNA tender page and check it weekly.
- Add the shared state e-tender site where the SNA routes through one.
- Watch SECI for central PM-KUSUM tenders.
- Use the national portal for a scheme-wide overview, not for bidding.
Missing a tender is missing a quarter of work. A tracked watch list, checked on a set day each week, keeps you from finding a tender after it has closed.
Empanel before you can bid
In most states you must empanel with the SNA before you can bid. Many PM-KUSUM tenders are open only to vendors already on the SNA's approved list, so empanelment is the gate to the door.
Empanelment rules, fees and documents differ by state, and some lists open only in set windows. So treat empanelment as step one for each new state, well before a tender drops. Our empanelment process guide walks through the papers and the steps.
Always verify current details
Every agency name, URL, DISCOM and portal in this directory can change without notice. Government sites get renamed, agencies merge, and DISCOM areas get redrawn, so a link that worked last quarter may be dead today.
Verify before you act
Before you empanel or bid, open the live SNA page and confirm the agency name, the portal address and the contact. Do not quote a subsidy share, a tariff or a deadline from memory — those are set per tender and per order. When this page lists a detail, read it as a pointer to verify current with the SNA, not a guarantee.
Bidding across many PM-KUSUM states
An EPC can work in many states, but each state adds a full set of moving parts. Every new state means a separate SNA, login, portal, document pack and deadline calendar, and that load grows fast.
The tracking problem
Spreadsheets break down once you chase five or ten state portals. A tender opens in one state while a deadline closes in another, and a missed login or expired document can lose a bid. A multi-state EPC needs one view of every SNA and date. Our multi-state operations guide goes deeper on running this without dropped balls.
How SuryaHub helps you track every SNA
The directory is the map; the hard part is acting on it across states. SuryaHub keeps every PM-KUSUM SNA, its portal, tenders, documents and deadlines in one place, and runs each bid through government-workflow tracking so an EPC working across states never loses the thread. SuryaHub is pre-revenue; its only real pilots are Suryantra Energy and RGESPL, and every agency detail here is a pointer to verify with the SNA.

Frequently asked questions
What is a PM-KUSUM state nodal agency?+
A PM-KUSUM state nodal agency, or SNA, is the state body that runs the scheme on the ground. It empanels vendors, floats tenders, fixes prices and clears subsidy claims. Examples are MEDA in Maharashtra, RRECL in Rajasthan and UPNEDA in Uttar Pradesh. Each state has its own SNA, portal and rules, so you bid with the SNA of the state where the work is.
Which agency runs PM-KUSUM in each state?+
Each state names its own renewable-energy agency as the SNA. Maharashtra uses MEDA, Haryana HAREDA, Rajasthan RRECL, Uttar Pradesh UPNEDA, Madhya Pradesh MPUVNL, Gujarat GEDA, Punjab PEDA, Karnataka KREDL, Tamil Nadu TEDA, Bihar BREDA and so on. The directory table on this page lists the SNA, DISCOM and portal for sixteen major states, all to verify with the agency.
Where do PM-KUSUM tenders get published?+
PM-KUSUM tenders are mostly published on each state nodal agency e-procurement portal, and sometimes on a state e-tender site like saralharyana.gov.in or energy.rajasthan.gov.in. Central tenders also come through SECI. The national portal pmkusum.mnre.gov.in links out to state pages. Check the SNA portal often, as live links and tender dates change.
Do I need to empanel with the SNA before bidding?+
Yes, in most states. Many PM-KUSUM tenders are open only to vendors already empanelled with that state nodal agency. So you usually empanel with the SNA first, then bid on its tenders. The empanelment rules, fees and documents differ by state, so check the SNA portal and our empanelment guide before you start.
Is there one national portal for all PM-KUSUM states?+
There is a national PM-KUSUM portal at pmkusum.mnre.gov.in run by MNRE, but it is mainly a dashboard and a set of links to state pages. The real tenders, prices and empanelment still sit with each state nodal agency. So use the national portal for an overview, then go to the SNA of the state you want to work in.
Can one EPC work across several PM-KUSUM states?+
Yes. An EPC can empanel and bid in many states, but each state means a separate SNA, portal, login, set of documents and deadlines. That gets hard to track by hand. Tools like SuryaHub keep every state SNA, tender and deadline in one view so a multi-state EPC does not miss a bid.
How does SuryaHub help with state nodal agencies?+
SuryaHub keeps each PM-KUSUM state nodal agency, its portal, tenders, documents and deadlines in one place, so an EPC working across states does not lose track. SuryaHub is pre-revenue, with Suryantra Energy and RGESPL as its only real pilots, and every agency name, link and detail here is to verify with the SNA.
