The scope of the turnkey project includes the design, manufacture, supply, transportation, installation, testing, and commissioning of the solar water pumps across Maharashtra. The entire project is scheduled for completion within 90 days from the issuance of the work order.
The contract also includes a comprehensive five-year maintenance contract (CMC), ensuring long-term reliability and post-installation support. Crompton’s solar-powered DC submersible pumps are engineered for high performance and durability, catering specifically to off-grid and rural areas that face challenges in water accessibility.
To ensure efficient execution, the company plans to deploy its trained field personnel, local district support teams, and extensive after-sales service network across the state.
The company said that this initiative aligns directly with national objectives to facilitate farmers’ transition from conventional energy sources to renewable solar energy, delivering both economic savings and environmental benefits. The order comes amid rapid growth in India’s submersible water pump market, driven by increasing demand in agriculture, rural water supply, and off-grid applications.
