How do I find which vendors are empanelled for PM-KUSUM in my state?

The empanelled vendor list for PM-KUSUM is published by your state nodal agency, usually on the same state PM-KUSUM or renewable energy portal where you apply, and the agency office can also give it to you. These are the firms the agency has approved through its tender or empanelment process to supply and install the solar pumps at the benchmark cost. Why it matters: in most states the subsidy is only released if your system is installed by a vendor on this approved list, so if you buy from an outside dealer you may simply not get the subsidy. The list typically shows the company name, the capacities it is approved for, and sometimes the districts it covers, and in several states you may even get to choose from the list or one is allotted to you after payment. I will not name any specific company, because the list changes with every tender cycle and varies by state, and an outdated name could mislead you. Always get the current empanelled list directly from your state nodal agency or its official portal, check that the firm is approved for the HP you want, and get a written quote and warranty terms before agreeing. Be cautious of anyone going door to door claiming to be a PM-KUSUM agent, and verify their name against the official list first.
