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 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.
With this latest project, RMC Switchgears is poised to contribute to the state’s clean energy goals while empowering farmers with solar-powered systems.
RMC’s recent investment of ₹100 crore to establish a Solar Module Manufacturing Plant in Jaipur complements this order. The plant aims to reduce reliance on external suppliers, streamline project execution, and meet the growing demand for solar modules in India.
Commenting on the development, Mr Ankit Agrawal, CEO and Whole-Time Director of RMC Switchgears, stated: “This LOA is a significant milestone for our Solar-based EPC business. 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.”
Following the announcement, RMC Switchgears’ shares were locked at a 5% upper circuit limit at ₹1,159.65 on December 17, 2024.
RMC Switchgears is a leader in electrical infrastructure solutions, specialising in electrical enclosures, smart meter enclosures, and renewable energy initiatives. With a growing focus on solar EPC and infrastructure projects, the company plays a pivotal role in India’s clean energy transition and power security goals.
