Agriculture Pump-Set Scenario: India
Policy-Politics Cocktail
i. Total agricultural pump sets ~ 18 million
ii. Agriculture sector consumes ~ 19% of total electricity supplied.
iii. Electricity supply is free or applicable tariff is very low, resulting to challenge in availability of electricity supply.
Net Result to @ Inefficient Pump-sets
• Market dominated by un-organised sector providing low cost (< INR 15,000) , low efficiency pump-sets (20-35%);
• Efficient pump-sets are available; though at higher costs (~ INR 30,000), efficiency 40-50%.

Energy Saving Potential
Agricultural pump sets
in the country – 18 million (2011-12)
Total annual consumption in agri-sector –131.96 billion Kwh
(19 % of total electricity consumption)
Saving Potential 33 billion Kwh annually
Energy Saving Potential
new connections per year - (0.5 million)
Average capacity : 5 HP
Average efficiency
old pump sets : 20% - 35%
