The CM Punjab Solar Tubewell Scheme Phase 2 is making waves among farmers across Punjab. This initiative is not just about switching to solar energy—it’s about transforming the way farming works in Pakistan. With high fuel and electricity prices eating away at farmers’ earnings, the Punjab government’s decision to introduce Phase 2 of the solar tubewell scheme is a breath of fresh air. Scheduled to launch in July 2025, this scheme will help convert 10,000 diesel or electric tubewells into solar-powered systems, bringing massive financial and environmental benefits to farmers.
And the best part? Farmers can get a government subsidy of up to Rs. 10 lakh, making it easier than ever to adopt clean energy for irrigation.
What Makes Phase 2 Different?
Phase 1 was a hit, and now CM Punjab Solar Tubewell Scheme Phase 2 takes it further. With a whopping Rs. 9.88 billion allocated for this round, the government is serious about supporting farmers. What sets this phase apart is not just the larger scale but also the clearer support structure. Whether you have a small farm or a mid-sized one, this scheme has you covered.
-
10,000 tubewells to be converted to solar
-
Expected launch: July 2025
-
Government covers 67% to 75% of costs
-
Farmers pay only 25% to 33%, over five years
-
Rs. 2.5 billion earmarked for 2024–25 alone
This means that if your tubewell system requires a 20 kW solar setup, you can get up to Rs. 10 lakh subsidy, dramatically cutting down your investment.
Who Is Eligible for the Solar Tubewell Scheme?
The scheme is aimed at those who need it the most—Punjab’s hardworking farmers still dependent on traditional energy sources. To qualify for CM Punjab Solar Tubewell Scheme Phase 2, you’ll need to meet a few basic requirements:
-
You must be a resident of Punjab actively engaged in agriculture
-
You must own or have documented lease rights to the land
-
Your current irrigation must rely on diesel or electric tubewells
-
You must be willing to pay your share, which is spread over five years
This thoughtful structure ensures even smaller landowners can benefit without bearing the burden of full upfront costs.

What Do You Get With the Solar System?
This isn’t just about installing a solar panel—it’s a complete, ready-to-use package tailored for farms. The solar system provided through the scheme includes:
-
High-efficiency solar panels
-
Inverters to convert solar power into usable electricity
-
Optional batteries for storing excess power
-
Monitoring and control units for system management
-
Complete installation and after-sales support
It’s designed to work even in remote areas, so you don’t have to worry about tech support or maintenance. Everything you need to switch to a reliable, low-cost irrigation system is included.
Why Should Farmers Apply?
The financial math is a no-brainer. Farmers currently spend thousands every month on diesel or electricity. After installing the solar system, those costs drop by over 90%.
Let’s break it down:
-
Diesel cost per acre: ~Rs. 3,000
-
Electricity cost per acre: ~Rs. 1,500
-
Solar-powered irrigation: ~Rs. 50 per acre
Imagine saving Rs. 10,000 or more per day, depending on your farm size. Over a year, these savings could reach several lakhs. Add to that the bonus of a cleaner, eco-friendly energy source, and it becomes clear why this scheme is a golden opportunity.
