Official portals & links
Staying safe from misinformation
Social media often spreads fake last dates or inflated subsidy percentages. Cross-check every claim on mahaurja.com or the Maharashtra Energy Department site. We update this hub when verified notifications change registration or payment rules.
Following MEDA and MNRE primary sources
Bookmark the MEDA news section and MNRE PM-KUSUM page for primary notifications. We translate and contextualise updates for Maharashtra farmers, but official PDFs remain the legal reference for deadlines, benchmark costs and quota revisions.
Archive of major policy shifts
Major benchmark cost revisions and registration window extensions are noted here with links to official circulars. Older news items remain for context but always follow the latest linked government PDF for current rules.
Turn on official MEDA alerts and check this page monthly during the registration season for benchmark cost or deadline changes.
Share only official links from this page with fellow farmers to reduce confusion from unofficial forwarding chains.
We label each news summary with the notification date to help you spot outdated information quickly.
Our news summaries link to primary MEDA and MNRE pages wherever possible so you can verify subsidy figures, registration windows and vendor lists without relying on social media screenshots alone.
Check back after major state budget announcements for updates to solar pump targets and beneficiary share rules in Maharashtra.
When in doubt, open the linked official circular and confirm dates before sharing news with your farmer group or cooperative.
Always verify dates.
