Through the portal application and amount required to pay by beneficiary could be done. Under the Mukhyamantri Solar Pump Scheme 2 lakh farmers would be provided with solar pump in five years which was notified in Madhya Pradesh gazette on February 2020. For the first time provision of 7.5 HP pump has been made under the scheme and which would help farmers who have borewell dug more than 400 ft. At the time of registration, farmers have to deposit Rs 5,000 and remaining money have to be provided after survey and required capacity of solar pump and which have to be paid through portal according to corporation's set guidelines. For 1 HP to 5 HP motors DC would be made available while for 7.5 HP motors AC and DC both motors would be made available. The farmers would have to pay Rs 19000 for 1 HP motor, Rs 23,000 for 2 HP surface pump, Rs 25,000 for 2HP submersible motor, Rs 36,000 for 3HP submersible motor, Rs 72,000 for 5HP submersible motor and Rs 1.35 lakh for 7.5 HP submersible (AC/DC) motor. The charges include maintenance for 5 years. The scheme is applicable for all farmers of the state and in case if famers install electric pump, no subsidy would be provided on electricity consumption. act as an intermediary procurer to select and buy power from renewable energy generating stations and sell it to one or more distribution licensees. The agency can act as a facilitator for those projects which are based on standalone storage sources of installed capacity of 50 MW or above. New website for better implementation of Mukhyamantri Solar Pump Scheme For better implementation of Mukhyamantri Solar Pump Scheme, the Madhya Pradesh government has launched a website www.cmsolarpump.mp.gov.in. The farmers would apply through the website for solar pump.
