13 May 2026 CW Team

TGRPDCL has coordinated with local agricultural cooperatives and financing partners to simplify application procedures and expedite approvals. The CMD outlined a single window process for registrations and said trained teams would assist with site surveys and paperwork. Farmers were encouraged to register at designated centres or through the utility's online portal to access technical guidance and available incentives. Outreach teams will hold local meetings to explain technical standards and safety norms.

The scheme is designed to integrate with existing irrigation infrastructure and the distribution network so that generation is matched to demand patterns. Officials noted that proper system sizing and maintenance are essential to secure reliable generation over the asset life. The company will provide post installation monitoring support and training for operators to ensure optimal performance and grid compliance. Independent audits and meter calibration will be carried out to maintain accuracy and trust.

The CMD urged farm community leaders to disseminate information and help neighbours evaluate suitability of rooftop or ground mounted systems. He requested district officials to organise awareness camps and technical demonstrations to build confidence among small and marginal holders. The utility committed to periodic reviews of implementation and to refine procedures in response to feedback to accelerate adoption across the region. The utility also pledged structured feedback channels and periodic performance reports to stakeholders.
