The firm will provide safe access across solar plant areas and is required to perform a minimum of three vegetation cleaning cycles each year.

The company said the award reinforced its position among India’s leading O&M service providers. It reported a managed portfolio of over 14 gigawatt-peak (GWp) across the country and a workforce of 1,700+ skilled technical professionals. The company background notes that its early work under founder Naresh Patel built capabilities in maintaining large scale solar plants totalling over 7,500 MWp.

The Nokhra contract, together with the Devikot and the 90 MW sites, expands the firm’s presence in Rajasthan and underlines growing demand for specialist O&M services.
