PM-KUSUM in Ulhasnagar

Somaya Solar Solutions Limited undertakes defined supply, installation, testing and commissioning work for eligible PM-KUSUM-linked ground-mounted solar projects. Ulhasnagar based project developers, Renewable Power Generators and organisations evaluating scheme-linked solar infrastructure can discuss their technical requirements against the company's documented project experience.
Somaya's updated portfolio records a 2.4 MW KUSUM-C ground-mounted project in Katni, Madhya Pradesh. The recorded work includes equipment supply, installation, testing, commissioning and project-specific liaison with the local DISCOM.
A PM-KUSUM opportunity in Ulhasnagar must be evaluated against the applicable allocation, project location, eligibility conditions and procurement arrangements. Ulhasnagar's historical participation in the scheme does not, by itself, establish a currently open tender.

PM-KUSUM in Ulhasnagar — Allocation History and Current Project Eligibility

Ulhasnagar has previously received PM-KUSUM allocations. Government records from the original programme show that the National Capital Territory was included in Component-A decentralised generation and Component-C individual-pump solarisation planning.

Source: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, state-wise PM-KUSUM sanction details as of 28 February 2022, presented in the Rajya Sabha reply dated 29 March 2022. These figures represent historical sanctions, not completed installations or confirmed project availability in October 2026.

Are New PM-KUSUM Projects Currently Available in Ulhasnagar?

MNRE's published PM-KUSUM scheme framework specifies 31 March 2026 as the scheme period. However, project-specific implementation timelines, sanctioned allocations and subsequent government clarifications must be checked separately.
As of October 2026, a new PM-KUSUM proposal in Ulhasnagar should be evaluated against the latest applicable MNRE notification, Ulhasnagar implementation records, valid procurement documents and any project-specific extension or continuation provisions. A historical allocation does not establish an active tender, and an EPC quotation does not establish scheme eligibility.

Ulhasnagar's PM-KUSUM Programme Is Different from Ulhasnagar Rooftop Solar Schemes

PM-KUSUM was created around agricultural energy applications, decentralised renewable generation and agricultural pump solarisation. Ulhasnagar's residential rooftop solar programmes have different eligibility, application and installation arrangements.
Project owners should first establish which programme their proposed generating asset actually belongs to.

PM-KUSUM Project Planning for Ulhasnagar-Based Developers

Ulhasnagar and Noida are neighbouring commercial markets, but their project locations fall under different state jurisdictions.
A proposed generation site within Ulhasnagar must be evaluated against the relevant Ulhasnagar government, DISCOM and procurement arrangements.
A proposed site in Noida or elsewhere in Gautam Budh Nagar falls under Uttar Pradesh implementation requirements. The relevant state agency, utility, allocation and grid conditions therefore need to be checked separately.
This distinction matters even where the project promoter, engineering consultant or procurement team operates from a Ulhasnagaroffice.
Project eligibility, utility coordination and applicable scheme conditions are determined by the proposed generating site's jurisdiction, not merely by the developer's registered office or commercial location.

What If a Ulhasnagar-Based Developer Has a Project Outside Ulhasnagar?

A developer based in Ulhasnagar may evaluate an eligible scheme-linked project in another state where the applicable procurement permits its participation.
In that situation, the project site's state and district—not the developer's office address—determine the relevant implementation rules.
Somaya's service suitability and contractual responsibilities must be confirmed for the specific project.

Understanding the Applicable PM-KUSUM Project Component

Component A — Decentralised Grid-Connected Power Generation

Under the original scheme framework, Component A generally covered decentralised renewable energy plants of 500 kW to 2 MW.
The model involved eligible Renewable Power Generators and DISCOM procurement arrangements. Substation capacity, project selection, tariff and PPA requirements were central to feasibility.

Component B — Standalone Agricultural Solar Pumps

Component B focused on standalone solar irrigation pumps in eligible off-grid agricultural settings.
This should be distinguished from MW-scale power-plant construction. Somaya's published ground-mounted KUSUM-C experience does not establish an equivalent standalone-pump installation portfolio.
Component B is explained here for scheme clarity. Somaya's referenced ground-mounted Component-C project does not, by itself, establish experience in standalone agricultural solar pump supply or installation. Any Component-B service offering must be separately verified before it is represented as a company capability.

Component C — Solarisation of Grid-Connected Agriculture Loads

Component C covered individual agricultural pump solarisation and feeder-level solarisation.
Feeder-level projects may require a central solar generation plant, associated electrical infrastructure and connection to the relevant agricultural distribution network.
The scope and procurement model must be established from the applicable state and DISCOM documents.

Project Readiness - What Should Be Checked Before EPC Work Begins?

For a PM-KUSUM ground-mounted plant, the earliest technical and commercial decisions can determine whether the project reaches construction.

Valid Project Allocation and Applicant Eligibility

The project promoter should first identify the governing notification, tender, allocation or other authorisation.
The contractor, developer, beneficiary and Renewable Power Generator may be different legal or contractual parties. Their responsibilities should not be combined without supporting documents.

Land and Grid Feasibility

Land availability alone does not establish project feasibility.
The proposed capacity should be assessed in relation to usable land, land rights, site access, electrical layout, the intended substation and available connection capacity.

Evacuation and Electrical Interface

The project documents should identify responsibility for power evacuation, protection systems, metering, any line or bay infrastructure, grid approvals and utility coordination.
These activities can fall outside a basic equipment supply and installation package.

Commercial and Financing Readiness

A valid project opportunity may still require a workable PPA, tariff arrangement, financing plan and construction schedule.
Scheme financial assistance, electricity-sale revenue and EPC payments are separate commercial matters.
Somaya Solar's Ground-Mounted PM-KUSUM Execution Experience

2.4 MW KUSUM-C Project — Katni, Madhya Pradesh

Somaya's national PM-KUSUM page documents the following project:

This project is presented as an example of Somaya Solar's documented execution experience under a PM-KUSUM-linked Component-C arrangement. It should not be interpreted as a Component-A installation or as evidence of scheme approval, government empanelment, project financing or completed work in Ulhasnagar. Its precise classification, technical scope and commissioning status are subject to the company's verified project records.

Evaluating a PM-KUSUM Solar EPC Contractor in Ulhasnagar

A contractor should be evaluated against the proposed project's actual technical and contractual requirements.
Review whether the proposal clearly identifies engineering deliverables, equipment specifications, civil and structural work, electrical installation, testing, commissioning, grid-interface responsibilities and exclusions.
Where land approvals, PPA execution, DPR preparation, financing, right-of-way permissions or external evacuation infrastructure are required, responsibility should be established separately.
The decision should be based on documented experience and a clearly defined scope, rather than a generic claim of offering complete PM-KUSUM services.

PM-KUSUM Cost, Subsidy and Tender Considerations

There is no single EPC price, subsidy percentage or PPA tariff applicable to all PM-KUSUM projects.
Ground-mounted project costs depend on capacity, equipment, land conditions, civil works, electrical configuration, evacuation distance and the contracted delivery package.
Government support must be checked for the correct component and applicable notification. Historical standalone-pump subsidy percentages should not be transferred to a decentralised generation or feeder-level solarisation project.
Tender conditions may also specify equipment eligibility, procurement requirements, project milestones and performance obligations. These must be reviewed before pricing and procurement commitments.

PM-KUSUM EPC Enquiry Checklist

Ulhasnagarproject teams can prepare a more useful EPC enquiry by identifying:

• Proposed generating-site state and district
• Scheme component and current allocation/tender reference
• Proposed or sanctioned plant capacity
• Land ownership, lease or availability status
• Relevant DISCOM and proposed substation
• PPA or tariff approval status, where applicable
• Available DPR, drawings and technical specifications
• Required supply, installation and commissioning activities
• Target project milestones and contractual exclusions

An enquiry with this information allows the required work package to be discussed in the context of an actual project rather than a generic solar installation.

Frequently Asked Questions — PM-KUSUM Ulhasnagar

Was Ulhasnagar included in the PM-KUSUM scheme?

Yes. Historical government records show 62 MW sanctioned under Component A and 550 individual-pump solarisation units under Component C. These do not confirm current tender availability.

Can a PM-KUSUM project be developed in Noida?

A proposal in Noida must meet the applicable Uttar Pradesh implementation, eligibility, land and grid requirements. The existence of a national scheme does not independently authorise a specific project.

Can Ulhasnagar-based companies participate in PM-KUSUM projects in other states?

Participation depends on the relevant state procurement conditions, the company's contractual role and the proposed project's eligibility.

Does Somaya Solar have experience in PM-KUSUM projects?

Somaya's updated service page documents a 2.4 MW KUSUM-C ground-mounted solar installation in Katni, Madhya Pradesh.

Is Component C the same as Component A?

No. Component A concerned decentralised renewable generation under eligible procurement arrangements, while Component C concerned solarisation of grid-connected agricultural electricity demand.

Does PM-KUSUM provide a standard subsidy for every solar project?

No. The assistance structure varies by scheme component and applicable government conditions.

What should a developer verify before selecting an EPC contractor?

A developer should establish the project authorisation, generating-site feasibility, approved capacity, grid interface, contract scope, equipment requirements and commercial milestones.

What information does Somaya need for an initial project discussion?

The relevant starting information includes location, capacity, scheme component, tender or allocation reference, land status, substation details and required EPC services.

Are new PM-KUSUM tenders currently open in Ulhasnagar?

A currently open Ulhasnagar PM-KUSUM tender cannot be assumed from historical government allocations. Applicants should check the latest relevant government notifications, procurement portals, implementing-agency records and project-specific eligibility conditions before proceeding.

Does Somaya Solar provide PM-KUSUM project financing or PPA investment?

Somaya's documented installation experience does not independently establish project financing, asset ownership, RESCO investment or PPA participation. Any financial, development or ownership responsibility must be separately confirmed through the company's approved service scope and project contract.
