India Jan 19: In a significant expansion of its clean energy offering, a pure-play solar cell manufacturer in India and provider of solar power solutions, Jupiter International Limited has secured a Letter of Empanelment (LoE) for INR 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). This project further strengthens its position in the solar pump sector and as an integrated renewable energy solutions provider.
The Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump Yojana (MTSKPY) is a flagship initiative by MSEDL to solarize irrigation in off-grid regions of Maharashtra, prioritizing small and marginal farmers.
Commenting on the development, Mr Akash Garodia, Promoter and Whole Time Director at Jupiter International Limited, said, “This Letter of Empanelment from MSEDCL marks a critical step in our journey to deliver impactful and sustainable solutions where they matter most—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.”
As part of its outreach strategy, 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 presence in the solar pump business marks a strategic expansion aligned with its broader vision of accelerating India’s clean energy transition through innovation, scale, and sustainability. Building on its strong foundation in solar manufacturing, the initiative is a natural progression of Jupiter’s growing renewable energy portfolio and its long-term investments across the solar energy value chain. With a state-of-the-art 959 MW high-efficiency solar PV cell manufacturing facility in Himachal Pradesh, Jupiter is positioned to expand into solar-powered applications by integrating advanced technologies, leveraging local manufacturing strength, and maintaining an unwavering focus on quality, reliability, and long-term impact.
