The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had issued Guidelines for promoting innovative solar pumps in June this year. And the Ministry has now invited innovators/ manufacturers/ service providers to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to participate in the above-mentioned scheme for the promotion of innovative solar pump technologies in the country. The guidelines are applicable for all Indian innovators/ manufacturers/ service providers, who wish to include innovative stand-alone solar pumps technologies/ models under the schemes operated by the MNRE.

The purpose of this call for EOIs is to promote innovation in the solar pumping sector by allowing the innovators to showcase their technologies in real field conditions. MNRE will shortlist the promising technologies with variable claims for improved parameters and allow the selected innovators to install solar pumps under PM-KUSUM Scheme.
