Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., a trusted leader in home and energy solutions, has achieved a major milestone in its solar journey by securing a significant solar rooftop order in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The order will cover and solarize over 40,000 households with 2 KW on-grid rooftop systems over the near term, amounting to a total contract value of Rs. 445 Crs.
This large 77 MW win, valued at Rs. 445 Crs, is Crompton’s largest-ever solar rooftop order and underscores the company’s rapid ramp-up—just two months after entering the solar rooftop market. Coming on the heels of a Rs. 52 Crs order earlier this month, it demonstrates Crompton’s strong market traction, execution capability and accelerating growth in the solar segment.
The solar rooftop segment represents a large and growing market of approximately Rs. 20,000–25,000 Crs, expected to grow at over 20% annually. Rising residential adoption is being driven by improved technology affordability, easier grid integration, growing awareness, and a decline in system costs, creating a strong opportunity for Crompton to scale sustainable energy solutions across households.
The project will equip households with reliable, sustainable, and easy-to-maintain solar solutions. Crompton’s end-to-end involvement is supported by trained personnel and a responsive service network, ensuring seamless performance across thousands of homes. This large-scale deployment highlights Crompton’s execution strength and reinforces its position as a trusted, energy saving focused brand committed to delivering innovative and dependable solutions.
