Shakti Pumps Limited has secured Rs 1.49 billion contract from Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (AVVNL) to supply, install, and commission solar water pumps under Component C of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) program.
The project involves the replacement of current grid-connected alternating current pumps with state-of-the-art brushless direct current pumps. These pumps will run on solar-generated electricity while also feeding surplus power back into the grid.
