What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will continue providing solar pumps to farmers under PM-KUSUM, and to raise farmers' income we will make proper arrangements for selling surplus solar electricity.”
Our Assessment
Partly delivered. Under PM-KUSUM, a central-plus-state scheme, Uttar Pradesh continues to distribute subsidised solar irrigation pumps to farmers, and the scheme's design (Components A and C) allows surplus solar power to be sold to DISCOMs at a fixed tariff. UP has set solar-pump targets and distribution is ongoing, but the surplus-power sale arrangement is only partially operational at scale. Marked partial.
