The Power sector in India has come a long way since Independence, from 1,300 MW to over 2,70,000 MW in generation capacity and from 2,700 km of 132 kV to more than 7,00,000 km transmission lines upto 1,200 kV level and from 3,000 villages/towns to nearly 5,72,000 electrified today. Despite this high generation of power across the country, households and industries still suffer from regular power cuts, while more than 400 million lack access to even this unreliable supply.Given this energy scenario, the need to expand power generation capacity requires immediate attention. The use of natural resources like solar energy is the most effortless option in this scenario.Harnessing the Power of Solar Energy

Conversing about the future roadmap of the company, Anuj concludes, “Our main motto is to augment the power production through solar energy, and we are trying to propagate the usage of rooftop solar power as much as possible. We have tied up with a big European company which is in the field of solar for more than ten years. This has given us the ability to offer our expertise as well as execution skills for the large utility scale projects too. For future, we are looking forward to become the most respected company in Solar Power in India and once this is achieved we will make a dash for our international ambitions.”
