flag India extends PM-KUSUM solar deadline again as progress lags below 10% of target.

flag India is expected to extend the PM-KUSUM solar scheme deadline for a second time due to poor progress across all components. flag As of September 2025, only 650.49 MW—6.5%—of the 10,000 MW solar power plants target has been installed, with several states reporting no progress. flag Off-grid solar pump deployment reached 9.03 lakh out of 12.72 lakh sanctioned, while grid-connected pump solarization hit 16.5% to 25.5% of targets. flag The scheme, initially launched in 2019 and extended to March 2026, aims to boost rural solar energy and farmer welfare, but implementation challenges persist across multiple states.
