Kolkata-based solar power solutions company bags ₹64.95 crore Maharashtra State electricity project

A Kolkata-based company, Jupiter International Ltd has secured a Letter of Empanelment (LoE) for ₹64.95 crore from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) for the manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and maintenance of off-grid solar photovoltaic water pumping systems (SPWPS) under the State-run Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump Yojana (MTSKPY). 

MTSKPY is a flagship program of the Maharashtra government to provide subsidized water off-grid solar water pumps to farmers, especially to small farmers. 

Speaking on the development, Akash Garodia, promoter and whole time director at Jupiter International Limited, said that this LoE from MSEDCL marks a critical step in our journey to deliver impactful and sustainable solutions at the grassroots. 

“By bringing solar irrigation to underserved farming communities, we’re not only replacing diesel with clean energy but also aim to enhance farmer incomes, improving water access, and support the country’s broader goal of agricultural decarbonisation,” Mr. Garodia added. 

As part of this program Jupiter will also launch a farmer awareness initiative through WhatsApp, SMS campaigns, and regional engagement networks to educate beneficiaries about the scheme’s benefits, application processes, and installation timelines. 

Jupiter is a manufacturer of photovoltaic solar cells and a provider of comprehensive solar power solutions through their advanced technology and local manufacturing expertise.
