Practical renewable energy technology that reduces costs and helps the environment

Maharashtra has been more deliberate than most states about locating solar generation close to agricultural feeders, and it has built policy around it. For landowners, that matters practically rather than abstractly: if your plot sits near a sub-station serving farm load, PM Kusum Maharashtra offers a route to contracted income from land that may currently be giving you very little.
Rayax develops land-based PM Kusum projects across Maharashtra. We assess plot viability against sub-station proximity and available capacity, handle MEDA registration, coordinate evacuation approval with MSEDCL, and build and operate the plant for its full twenty-five year term.
The PM Kusum Yojana Maharashtra is implemented by MEDA with MSEDCL as the distribution company and MERC as tariff regulator. The state also runs Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini, a dedicated programme for solarising agricultural feeders, which has created sustained demand for land near rural sub-stations.
Registration is handled by MEDA (Maharashtra Energy Development Agency) through the MEDA PM Kusum portal, with MSEDCL managing evacuation and metering, and MERC (Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission) setting the applicable tariff. Application windows open periodically and are usually capacity-capped, so preparing documentation in advance is worthwhile.
Rayax knows how MEDA and MSEDCL processes interact in Maharashtra, including the feeder solarisation route, which is where much of the state's land-based demand actually sits. Whether your plot is better suited to a standard PM Kusum application or an MSEDCL land tender depends on where it is relative to the right sub-station, and getting that judgment right at the start saves months. We manage registration, coordinate evacuation approval, and build to MNRE standards with tier-1 solar panels.

MEDA, the Maharashtra Energy Development Agency, is the nodal agency, with MSEDCL as the distribution company and MERC setting the applicable tariff.
It is Maharashtra's dedicated programme for solarising agricultural feeders, and it runs alongside PM Kusum. For landowners with plots near rural sub-stations it often represents the more direct route to a project, since MSEDCL actively seeks land in those locations. Rayax assesses which route suits your plot.
Solapur, Ahmednagar, Beed and Osmanabad are strong candidates, combining good irradiance with land availability and reasonable sub-station coverage. Parts of Marathwada and Vidarbha are also well suited where grid access permits.
There is no fixed price list. Cost depends on capacity, terrain, evacuation distance and the applicable MERC tariff. Feeder-linked projects have their own commercial structure. Rayax provides an itemised assessment for your specific site.
Aadhaar, 7/12 extract (satbara), 8A where required, an active bank account, and details of the nearest sub-station and its available capacity.
Yes. Title stays in your name for the entire project term under all participation routes, and the land reverts to unrestricted use at the end.
