RMC Switchgears Limited has announced a significant milestone by securing a ₹90 crore Letter of Acceptance (LOA) for supplying, installing, and commissioning 5,000 solar pumps in Maharashtra. This project includes 3HP, 5HP, and 7HP solar pump systems and is expected to be completed during FY25-26.

Maharashtra’s Clean Energy Drive

Maharashtra has set an ambitious target of deploying 1.5 million solar pumps with a ₹100 billion allocation to transform its agricultural landscape. To date, over 100,000 solar pumps have been installed, underscoring the sector’s potential for sustainable irrigation solutions.

It validates our capabilities while aligning with Maharashtra’s renewable energy ambitions. Our recent investment in solar module manufacturing enables us to deliver efficiently on projects like this and achieve our Vision-2030 goals.”
