The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) is India’s flagship national initiative designed to de-dieselize agriculture, solarize rural power grids, and empower farmers, landowners, and rural project developers to generate long-term solar income.
A2P Resources acts as an end-to-end EPC partner, developer, and technical consultant under PM-KUSUM. We engineer, finance, build, and maintain high-yield decentralized ground-mount solar power plants—delivering single-window execution from land assessment and DISCOM substation approvals to 33 kV/11 kV grid synchronization and 25-year asset O&M.
A2P Resources specializes in providing turnkey EPC services for high-capacity, grid-tied agricultural solar infrastructure under Component-A and Component-C (Feeder-Level Solarization):
Scheme Pillar
Component-A (Decentralized Ground Mount RE Plants)
Capacity Scope
500 kW and above
Target Stakeholders
Individual Farmers, FPOs, Cooperatives, Panchayats & Landowners
Business Model
Direct Developer Model (RPG) or Land Lease Model (Fixed 25-year annual lease rent from developers/ DISCOMs).
Component-C (FLS) (Feeder-Level Solarization)
1 MW to 10+ MW (Feeder-scale)
State DISCOMs, Rural Utilities & Institutional Project Developers
CAPEX or RESCO / PPA Mode with 30% Central Financial Assistance (CFA up to ₹1.05 Cr/MW).
Component-C (IPS) (Individual Pump Solarization)
Up to 2x Pump Capacity (3 HP – 10 HP)
Agricultural Landowners with existing grid connections
Grid-tied solar pump integration with bi-directional export to DISCOM at approved Feed-in Tariffs.
Whether you own fallow/barren land or seek to invest in agricultural solar infrastructure, A2P Resources structures bankable execution models:
1. Land Lease Model (Zero Capital Outlay for Landowners):
Landowners lease 2 to 8 acres of barren, pasture, or cultivable land located within a 5 km radius of a 33/11 kV DISCOM substation.
A2P Resources and its investment partners finance, build, and operate the plant.
Landowners receive guaranteed, inflation-indexed annual lease income for 25 years with zero capital investment or operational risk.
2. Renewable Power Generator (RPG) Model (Direct Ownership):
Farmers, FPOs, or entrepreneurs develop and own the 0.5 MW – 2 MW solar plant.
100% of the generated green power is sold to the state DISCOM under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) at an approved State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) Feed-in Tariff (FiT).
A2P Resources delivers complete turnkey EPC, statutory clearances, and substations grid connectivity.
3. Feeder-Level Solarization (RESCO / EPC):
Solarizing entire rural 11 kV agricultural feeders to supply daytime power to hundreds of farming tubewells simultaneously.
Lowers utility peak loads and provides farmers with reliable, daytime irrigation power without burning diesel.
Turnkey 5-Step Execution Workflow by A2P Resources
Substation Mapping & Land Feasibility: We assess land topography, soil load-bearing capacity, shadow profiling, and confirm surplus injection capacity at the nearby 33/11 kV DISCOM grid substation.
Tender Bidding & PPA Execution: End-to-end assistance with state nodal agency portal filings, bid participation, security documentation, and 25-year PPA signing with local DISCOMs.
Utility-Grade EPC Execution: Installation of ALMM-compliant Tier-1 Mono-PERC / TOPCon modules, galvanized pile-driven mounting structures designed for high wind resistance, and multi-MPPT string inverters.
Transmission Line & Substation Bay Development: Construction of dedicated 11 kV or 33 kV overhead transmission lines, transformer installations, and bay connectivity inside the DISCOM substation adhering to CEA / CEIG norms.
Real-Time Telemetry & Long-Term O&M: Integration of cloud-based SCADA, automated weather stations, anti-soiling cleaning cycles, and round-the-clock plant management to sustain a Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) exceeding 21%.
Guaranteed 25-Year Revenue Stream: Convert barren or low-yield agricultural acreage into an inflation-proof, bankable cash flow.
Daytime Irrigation Reliability: Eliminates the hazard of nighttime irrigation and cuts diesel fuel consumption to zero.
Turnkey Regulatory Management: Comprehensive handling of CEIG clearances, revenue land demarcation, net-metering synchronization, and Central Financial Assistance (CFA) claims.
Robust Structural Durability: Heavy-duty, hot-dip galvanized mounting structures engineered to withstand harsh rural environments and monsoons.
Q: How much land is required for a 1 MW PM-KUSUM solar power plant?
A: Typically, a 1 MW ground-mount solar plant requires approximately 3.0 to 3.5 acres of contiguous, shadow-free land.
Q: What is the distance requirement between the land and the DISCOM substation?
A: Under PM-KUSUM guidelines, the land parcel should preferably be located within 5 km of a 33/11 kV DISCOM substation to minimize transmission line costs and power transmission losses.
Q: Who signs the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), and what is the tenure?
A: The PPA is executed directly with the state power distribution company (DISCOM) for a legally binding tenure of 25 years at a tariff pre-determined by the respective State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC).
