CRI Solar, a division of CRI Pumps has been awarded the Letter of Empanelment (LOE) by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) for the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of 10,714 Off-Grid DC Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems (SPWPS). The project, valued at Rs 320 crore, is part of the ‘Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump’ Yojana.
The SPWPS, available in 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP capacities, feature inbuilt IoT-enabled Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) and are backed by a five-year warranty covering repairs and maintenance. The initiative is expected to improve water access in underserved and off-grid rural regions, reduce reliance on conventional energy, enhance irrigation reliability, and boost agricultural productivity and rural prosperity.
Project execution will commence as per MSEDCL’s stipulated timelines, with CRI Solar leveraging its expertise in large-scale solar deployments to ensure timely, efficient, and high-quality implementation.
Commenting on this development, G. Soundararajan, Chairman, CRI, said:
“This empanelment from MSEDCL, worth Rs 320 crore, is more than a business achievement—it is a mission-driven step towards empowering India’s farmers with clean, reliable, and sustainable water solutions. We are proud to collaborate with Maharashtra in accelerating renewable energy adoption and delivering dependable irrigation to the heart of its agricultural economy.”
CRI has commissioned over 1,81,000 solar pumping systems across India, supported by IoT-enabled smart monitoring solutions. These projects have collectively saved more than 6,100 million kWh of energy and prevented 4.8 million ton of CO₂ emissions. With a strong portfolio of high-efficiency solar pumping systems, intelligent remote monitoring, and comprehensive after-sales support, CRI Solar continues to be a trusted partner in government-led renewable energy and irrigation initiatives, driving environmental stewardship, national progress, and rural upliftment.
