Govt ab PM-KUSUM 2.0 mein agrivoltaics ko add kar rahi hai, jiska target **10 GW** capacity ho sakta hai. Isse kisan ek hi zameen se kheti aur bijli dono ka benefit le payenge.
Khet mein ab udega solar ka jugad
Indian govt ab PM-KUSUM program ke phase 2 mein agrivoltaics ko la rahi hai. Iska main plan 18 se 20 feet unchi pillars par solar panels lagana hai. Is design ka fayda ye hai ki neeche badi tractors aur machines aaram se kaam kar sakengi aur crop ki growth ke liye zaroori dhoop bhi milti rahegi. Ye scheme formally 7th Agrivoltaics World Conference mein reveal hone wali hai jo October 21-23, 2026 ko New Delhi mein hogi.
Business model aur economic impact
Jain Irrigation jaise players ne already isse test kiya hai. Haan, isme normal solar plants ke muqable 30% zyada upfront cost (CAPEX) lagti hai kyunki structure elevated hota hai. Lekin iske long-term benefits tagde hain—kisan ke paas kheti se income, bijli bech kar paise, aur diesel pumps ka kharcha bachega.
Investors ke liye kya hai?
Renewable energy aur irrigation sector ki companies ke liye ye ek naya market khulega. Lekin dhyan rakhein ki ye projects management aur site design mein complex hote hain. Agar design galat hua toh crop yield par asar pad sakta hai. Ab sabhi ki nazar is baat par hai ki govt kitni Subsidy deti hai aur contracts ka format kya rehta hai. Agle kuch quarters mein jo companies pilot se commercial execution par jaldi shift hongi, wahi winner banengi.
