Luminous Power Technologies, India’s leading consumer energy fulfilment company, has secured multiple orders to install a cumulative 350 MW of solar power capacity under the PM-KUSUM scheme in Rajasthan. The development reinforces Luminous’ growing contribution to India’s clean energy transition and its role in strengthening rural energy security through large-scale solar adoption.
As part of the project, Luminous will supply 1,000 utility-scale Grid-Tie Luminous NXI A inverters to power the installations. The NXI A grid-tie inverter offers up to 99% efficiency and features a rugged IP66 and C5-M design, enabling reliable performance even in extreme weather conditions. Equipped with advanced protection features and backed by a 10-year warranty, the inverter is positioned as a scalable and dependable solution for utility-scale solar projects.
Commenting on the milestone, Preeti Bajaj, CEO & Managing Director, Luminous Power Technologies, said, “India has entered a phase of renewable acceleration, rapidly becoming one of the world’s most dynamic markets for clean energy, supported by ambitious national targets and strong policy initiatives. The 350 MW solar project under the PM-KUSUM scheme marks a major milestone for Luminous. It reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting India’s clean energy transition while empowering rural communities at scale.”
She further added, “By combining Luminous’s advanced solar technology with the entrepreneurial spirit of Rajasthan’s farmers, we are creating a future where clean energy and livelihood thrive together.”
Under the project structure, electricity generated from the solar plants will be sold to local DISCOMs, which will distribute the clean power to residential, commercial, and institutional consumers in their respective regions. The initiative is also expected to directly support farmer livelihoods, as landowners lease their land for solar development, creating a stable and additional income stream. More than 150 farmer families are projected to benefit from the program.
Once fully operational, the combined installations are expected to generate between 500 and 560 million units of electricity annually. This could potentially offset an estimated 402,000 to 459,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year equivalent to planting approximately 19 to 22 million trees.
The project execution is planned in a staggered manner starting in the first quarter of 2026. Multiple EPC contractors and local developers will collaborate on the rollout, with land-leasing arrangements being facilitated directly with farmers and landowners across participating regions.
Luminous positions itself as a full-stack consumer energy fulfilment company, offering an integrated solar ecosystem across residential, commercial, and industrial segments. Its capabilities span from initial consultation and system design to installation and long-term maintenance, supported by a wide service network. The NXI-A grid-tie inverters are designed to meet India’s evolving power requirements, featuring a compact wall-mounted design, operational capability in extreme temperatures ranging from –30°C to 60°C, and compatibility with high-capacity solar panels including TOPCon and monocrystalline modules. Intelligent monitoring systems provide real-time alerts and automatic diagnostics to maximize energy yield and operational efficiency.
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, aimed at de-dieselization of the farm sector and enhancing farmers’ income. Supported by strong policy measures and government initiatives such as PM-KUSUM, India’s power sector is targeting 500 GW of total installed renewable electricity capacity by 2030. In 2025, the country achieved its highest-ever non-fossil fuel-based energy share of 51% in electricity generation. Against this backdrop, Luminous reiterated its commitment to supporting India’s clean, self-reliant energy future through quality technology, reliable infrastructure, and strong partnerships.
