Avaada Group Unveils 11 Solar Projects to Aid Maharashtra Farmers

Avaada Group, a major player in clean energy, has rolled out 11 solar power projects in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, as part of the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY) 2.0. These projects are all about giving farmers a reliable source of daytime electricity for irrigation, helping them save money and boosting Maharashtra’s push for green energy.

The solar plants vary in size, from 2 MW to 5 MW, and are spread across villages like Kinhi (4 MW), Baldi (3 MW), Dongarkharda (3 MW), Bansi (2 MW), Patan (2 MW), Mhasola (5 MW), Galwa (2 MW), Pathrad (4 MW), Parjana (4 MW), Sawargaon (3 MW), and Sarfali (3 MW). They’re set to make a big difference for around 14,900 farmers in 167 villages by improving irrigation, cutting costs, and making farming safer by reducing the need for risky nighttime work.

The MSKVY 2.0 program, an updated version of a 2017 initiative, aims to power 30% of Maharashtra’s agricultural feeders with solar energy by building 7,000 MW of smaller solar projects near high-demand areas. Avaada is also working on over 1,132 MW of solar projects in districts like Nashik, Pune, Sangli, Ahmednagar, and Beed, helping the state move toward a cleaner energy future.

“These projects are a model for how clean energy can uplift rural communities,” said Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group. With steady daytime power, farmers can move away from expensive diesel generators, lower their electricity bills, plan crops better, and boost their yields. Plus, they can earn extra income by leasing out unused land for these solar projects.

The project avoids energy wastage, increases financial burden on state power sources, and dependence on fossil fuels besides benefiting farmers, which further assists Maharashtra in achieving its climate objectives. It also injects investments into local economies, which cause a trickle effect on economic growth.
