Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals has secured its largest-ever solar pump order, valued at over Rs 101 crore (exclusive of GST), from the Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA). The letter of award (LoA) is for the design, manufacture, supply, transportation, installation, testing, and commissioning of 4,500 Off-grid Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems (SPWPS) under Component-B of the PM-KUSUM scheme.
