The company said its entry into the solar pump segment represents a strategic expansion aligned with its long-term vision of accelerating India’s clean energy transition through innovation, scale and sustainability. It added that the move builds on Jupiter’s established solar manufacturing base and its growing presence across the renewable energy value chain.
