The Punjab Solar Tubewell Project 2025 is a flagship initiative of the Government of Punjab aimed at helping farmers switch from expensive diesel and electricity-powered tube wells to cost-effective, eco-friendly solar energy systems. This program not only reduces irrigation costs but also promotes sustainable farming and energy independence for thousands of growers across the province.Below, you’ll find a complete guide on the scheme’s current status, eligibility, grant details, the application process, and the latest government updates.
Is Registration Open?
As of September 2025, new registrations are closed. The last submission date (after extension) was January 6, 2025. Currently, the Agriculture Department is focusing on:
- Document verification
- Balloting (Qurandazi) process
- Installation of approved solar tube wells
Farmers are advised to rely only on the official program portal for announcements regarding the next phase or fresh registrations.
What Farmers Receive Under the Project
The government provides fixed, capacity-based grants that cover a major portion of the solar installation cost. Farmers typically receive subsidies worth around 70–80%, depending on the system size and vendor pricing.
- Rs. 500,000 for 10 kW systems
- Rs. 750,000 for 15 kW systems
- Rs. 1,000,000 for 20 kW systems
This subsidy drastically lowers farmers’ expenses and ensures long-term savings compared to diesel and electricity-powered irrigation.
