The contract will cover and solarise over 40,000 households with 2 KW on-grid rooftop systems, amounting to a total value of Rs 4.45 billion.

This large 77 MW order, valued at Rs 4.45 billion, represents Crompton’s largest-ever solar rooftop project, highlighting the company’s strong execution capability and rapid progress—just two months after its entry into the solar rooftop segment.
