Luminous Secures 350 MW Solar Capacity Under PM-KUSUM Scheme in Rajasthan
Dec 23, 2025
Luminous Power Technologies has won multiple orders to develop a cumulative 350 MW of solar power capacity under the PM-KUSUM scheme in Rajasthan, marking a significant addition to the company’s utility-scale solar portfolio.
As part of the projects, Luminous will supply 1,000 utility-scale NXI A grid-tie inverters to power the solar installations across various locations. The NXI A inverter offers up to 99?ficiency and features a rugged IP66 and C5-M-rated design, enabling reliable performance under harsh environmental conditions. The inverters are backed by a 10-year warranty and include advanced protection features suited for large-scale solar deployments.
Commenting on the development, Preeti Bajaj, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Luminous Power Technologies, said the project reflects India’s rapid progress in renewable energy adoption, driven by ambitious national targets and supportive policy frameworks. She added that the PM-KUSUM solar installations represent a major milestone for Luminous, reinforcing its commitment to the clean energy transition while creating economic opportunities in rural areas.
Under the project structure, electricity generated from the solar plants will be sold to local distribution companies (DISCOMs), which will supply the clean power to residential, commercial, and institutional consumers. The initiative also supports farmer livelihoods by enabling landowners to lease land for solar development, creating a steady additional income stream. More than 150 farmer families are expected to benefit directly from the programme.
The combined solar capacity is projected to generate 500 to 560 million units of electricity annually, potentially offsetting 402,000 to 459,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year—equivalent to planting approximately 19 to 22 million trees.
Project execution is expected to begin in a phased manner from the first quarter of 2026, involving multiple EPC partners and local developers. Land leasing arrangements will be facilitated directly with farmers and landowners across the participating regions.
Designed for India’s evolving power requirements, the NXI A grid-tie inverter features a compact, wall-mounted form factor that simplifies installation. It operates across a wide temperature range of -30°C to 60°C, supports high-capacity solar modules including TOPCon and monocrystalline technologies, and incorporates intelligent monitoring systems with real-time alerts and automatic diagnostics to maximise energy output.
