Avaada Group, a diversified energy conglomerate, has marked the beginning of a new era in its quest to redefine sustainable innovation with the commencement of 11 solar power projects under the purview of Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY) in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra which will enable the company to bring reliable, green energy directly to the fields.
The projects inaugurated include a 4 MW plant in Kinhi village, 3 MW in Baldi, 3 MW in Dongarkharda, 2 MW in Bansi, 2 MW in Patan, 5 MW in Mhasola, 2 MW in Galwa, 4 MW in Pathrad, 4 MW in Parjana, 3 MW at Sawargaon, and 3 MW at Sarfali. A total of around 14,893 farmers will benefit from these solar projects for their agriculture activities across nearly167 villages.
Vineet Mittal, Chairman, Avaada Group said, “We are honoured to partner with the Government of Maharashtra in this transformative journey. The Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana 2.0 is a model for how clean energy can directly uplift rural communities. This project is a testimony to Hon’ble CM’s visionary leadership, bringing reliable solar power to farmers and contributing to both rural development and India’s green energy mission.”
As a part of the expanded vision to provide sustainable agriculture in Maharashtra, Avaada Group is executing over 1,132 MW of solar power projects across key districts including Nashik, Pune, Sangli, Yavatmal, Ahmednagar, and Beed. These deployments illustrate the depth of Avaada’s commitment to MSKVY 2.0 and rural energy transformation.
Building on the original scheme launched in 2017, the upgraded MSKVY 2.0 aims to solarise 30% of agricultural feeders by undertaking 7,000 MW of decentralised solar projects (0.5–25 MW) strategically located near high-agriculture-load substations.
The MSKVY 2.0 scheme boasts of several benefits not just to farmers but for overall economy and rural administration besides benefiting the environment.
