CRI Solar, a division of CRI Pumps and a pioneer in renewable energy-driven water solutions, has been awarded the Letter of Empanelment (LOE) by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) for the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of 10,714 Off-Grid DC Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems (SPWPS) of 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP capacities valued at ₹320 crores under “Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump“ Yojana. The SPWPS features an inbuilt IoT-enabled Remote Monitoring System (RMS) and comes with a 5-year warranty covering repairs and maintenance.
This initiative will help ensure reliable water access in underserved and off-grid rural regions, significantly reducing dependence on conventional energy, enhancing irrigation reliability, and boosting agricultural productivity and rural prosperity.
Project execution will commence as per MSEDCL’s stipulated timelines, with CRI Solar leveraging its proven expertise in large-scale solar deployments to ensure timely, efficient, and high-quality implementation.
Commenting on this key landmark, Mr. G. Soundararajan, Chairman of CRI, said: “This empanelment from MSEDCL, worth ₹320 crores, is more than a business achievement—it is a mission-driven step towards empowering India’s farmers with clean, reliable, and sustainable water solutions. We are proud to collaborate with Maharashtra in accelerating renewable energy adoption and delivering dependable irrigation to the heart of its agricultural economy.”
