Pune: Energy is the lifeblood of progress, and true progress is when our farmers, the backbone of India, are empowered with the strength of the sun. Avaada Group, one of India’s leading renewable energy companies, proudly participated in the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY 2.0) event in Indapur, Pune, reaffirming its commitment to bringing sustainable, reliable, and affordable solar energy to Maharashtra’s farmers.
The event highlights the transformative power of solar energy in uplifting the agricultural sector—reducing subsidy burdens, ensuring energy security, and fostering economic growth in rural India. Avaada Energy, awarded 1,132 MW of solar capacity across multiple districts in Maharashtra, has already commissioned 24 MW, with 200 MW set for completion by March 2025. The entire project will be operational by the end of the year, marking a significant step toward rural electrification and energy independence.
MSKVY 2.0: Illuminating a Brighter Future for Farmers
MSKVY 2.0 is not just an energy project—it is a movement toward self-reliance and prosperity for Maharashtra’s farmers. By providing daytime electricity to agricultural feeders, the initiative solves critical challenges such as grid instability, high subsidy burdens on DISCOMs, and unreliable energy access in rural areas.
Avaada’s participation ensures that farmers receive uninterrupted solar power to operate irrigation pumps during the day, reducing dependence on costly and polluting fossil fuels. This not only lowers their input costs but also enhances productivity, leading to higher incomes, increased savings, and greater financial stability for rural families.
“Solar Energy is the Path to Farmers’ Prosperity”, says Vineet Mittal.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Vineet Mittal, Chairman, Avaada Group, shared an inspiring vision for a self-sufficient and sustainable agricultural sector, drawing parallels with Swami Vivekananda’s philosophy of self-empowerment: “A nation is built on the strength of its farmers. When we provide them with sustainable energy, we do not just illuminate their fields; we illuminate their futures. Solar power is not merely an alternative—it is the path to independence, prosperity, and dignity. At Avaada, we are honored to contribute to this revolution, ensuring that Maharashtra’s farmers reap the true benefits of renewable energy. Through MSKVY 2.0, we are not just generating power—we are generating livelihoods, hope, and a sustainable tomorrow.”
Avaada’s Solar Footprint Across Maharashtra
Avaada’s solar projects under MSKVY 2.0 are spread across key districts, including:
- Pune – 234 MW
- Sangli – 207 MW
- Yavatmal – 225 MW
- Ahmednagar – 196 MW
- Nashik – 172 MW
- Other districts – 98 MW
These projects will directly reduce Maharashtra’s energy subsidy burden, provide reliable electricity to farmers, and create new employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Powering India’s Green Revolution
Avaada Group’s active participation in MSKVY 2.0 aligns with its broader mission to accelerate India’s clean energy transition and support rural development. With every megawatt of solar energy installed, Avaada moves closer to realizing India’s vision of energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment for its farmers.
