Avaada To Implement Solar Projects Across Maharashtra Under MSKVY

Green energy company Avaada Group has announced that it is actively implementing Maharashtra government’s Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY). Under this initiative, Avaada grou will set up solar projects across Nashik, Pune, Sangli, Yavatmal, Ahmednagar, Beed, Amravati, Hingoli, Dharashiv, and Solapur districts totalling 1,132 MW in AC power.

Launched in 2017, MSKVY aims to set up solar projects near agriculture-heavy substations so that farmers can be provided daytime solar power. In 2025 the Maharashtra government scaled up MSKVY to MSKVY 2.0 (Mission 2025) with the aim to solarize 30% of agricultural feeders by implementing 7,000 MW of solar capacity across the state by 2025.

These decentralized projects, ranging from 0.5 MW to 25 MW, are being developed within 5–10 km of distribution substations in agriculture-intensive zones—ensuring dependable, daylight-hour electricity access and significantly improving farming outcomes.

Avaada group said that it’s work under MSKVY 2.0 will make use of approximately 875 MW of solar panels manufactured in Maharashtra, thereby helping local industry and strengthening the state’s Make in Maharashtra mission.

Avaada also stated that its implementation is unique on account of its end-to-end approach, from technology deployment and community engagement to ongoing Operations & Maintenance (O&M) support. It reflects the vision of Mr. Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, who has long championed inclusive, grassroots-led energy transitions that are both impactful and socially empowering.
