The Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana and PM-KUSUM Component-B schemes have opened massive contracting windows for solar water pump installation across rural Maharashtra.
1. MEDA & MSEDCL Vendor Empanelment
Empanelled contractors receive direct cluster allocations for 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP surface and submersible solar pump sets. Ensuring valid MNRE test reports for solar PV modules, controllers, and VFD inverters is mandatory for pre-qualification.
"Decentralized solar pumping reduces agricultural grid load and provides steady 5-year AMC annuity revenue for certified EPC partners."
2. Financial Criteria & Solvency Requirements
Bidders must furnish CA-certified net worth certificates and minimum bank solvency of 20% to 30% of total bid value, backed by performance bank guarantees (PBG).
