Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd., India’s leading solar solutions and EV Charger manufacturer has secured an order of approx. 1100 Grid-connected Agriculture Pumps under “KUSUM Component C-1 Scheme” from Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Authority (UPNEDA), Uttar Pradesh Government. This project will be a huge step towards solarise farming of Uttar Pradesh and driving India closer to being a solar- powered nation.

The project valued at around Rs 310 million will involve manufacturing, supplying, installation, testing & commissioning of Grid Connected Agriculture Pumps along with solar power plants. Furthermore, the project involves for Servotech to provide comprehensive warranty maintenance for the next 5 years for pumps ranging from 2 HP, 3 HP and 5 HP with solar power plant with capacities of 3 kW, 4.5 kW, and 7.5 kW, for a total of 1094 solar pumps across Uttar Pradesh contributing to the state’s renewable energy goals.

Commenting on the order, Sarika Bhatia, Director, Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd. said, “We are excited to get this order from UPNEDA to support Uttar Pradesh’s green energy initiatives. We understand the difficulties farmers experience when relying on diesel generators and traditional energy sources for irrigation and other agricultural purposes.

This provides an opportunity to access clean, sustainable, and cost-effective solar energy solutions, which will help reduce dependency on grid electricity. Solar-powered irrigation and energy systems will lower the operational costs, increase productivity, and ultimately contribute to the prosperity of rural communities. This partnership not only enhances the energy security but also aligns with the state’s long-term environmental goals, creating a more sustainable future for farming and agriculture in Uttar Pradesh.”
