How To Apply For CM Punjab Solar Tubewell Scheme 2025

Where homeowners and businesses in Pakistan benefit from alternative, cost-effective solar energy and reduce electricity bills, there is also a need for solarization in agriculture. If solar systems are installed in agriculture for tube wells, then production & efficiency can be enhanced. The agriculture sector needs help for small and middle Kisan. High electricity bills overburden them. The government focuses on the small and middle Kisan and provides a CM Punjab Solar Tubewell Scheme to reduce the high cost of electricity. This high cost of electricity reduces agricultural land’s productivity and allows Kisan to get loans from banks and land on interest. This situation is depressing for the small Kisan family, as they do not live happy lives.

Now, CM Punjab has launched a much-awaited solarization program for farmers. The government of Punjab aims to solarize the 8,000 tube wells throughout the province. This scheme will be revolutionized in agriculture.
