Oswal Pumps has secured an order from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL) for the supply and installation of 6,869 off-grid solar PV water pumping systems in Maharashtra. The solar pumps will be deployed under Component B of the PM-KUSUM scheme, also known as the Magel Tyala Saur Krishi Pump Yojana.
The total order value stands at INR 162.06 crore (inclusive of GST).
Oswal Pumps’ scope of work includes the design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of solar water pumping systems in 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP capacities. It also covers a comprehensive system warranty, along with repair and maintenance services for a period of five years.
These systems will be installed at identified farmers’ locations across Maharashtra, supporting sustainable irrigation and promoting the adoption of renewable energy in the agricultural sector.
Vivek Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, Oswal Pumps Limited, said that by directly benefiting nearly 6,869 farming households across the state of Maharashtra, this project will reduce their dependence on grid power and diesel-based irrigation, lowering both input costs and carbon footprints.
