Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd of Mumbai has secured a Rs.445 crore solar rooftop order in the state of Andhra Pradesh that will cover and solarize over 40,000 households with 2 KW on-grid systems over the near term.
This large 77 MW win is Crompton’s largest-ever solar rooftop order and underscores the company’s rapid ramp-up—just two months after entering the solar rooftop market. Coming on the heels of a Rs.52 crore order earlier this month, it demonstrates Crompton’s strong market traction, execution capability and accelerating growth in the solar segment.
The solar rooftop segment represents a large and growing market of approximately Rs.20,000–Rs.25,000 crore and is expected to grow at over 20% annually. Rising residential adoption is being driven by improved technology affordability, easier grid integration, growing awareness, and a decline in system costs, creating a strong opportunity for Crompton to scale sustainable energy solutions across households, Crompton said on 27 Oct.
The project will equip households with reliable, sustainable, and easy-to-maintain solar solutions. Crompton’s end-to-end involvement is supported by trained personnel and a responsive service network, ensuring seamless performance across thousands of homes. This large-scale deployment highlights Crompton’s execution strength and reinforces its position as a trusted, energy saving focused brand committed to delivering innovative and dependable solutions.
Commenting on the order, Promeet Ghosh, Managing Director & CEO, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals, said, “This landmark solar rooftop order of Rs. 445 crore marks an important milestone in Crompton’s journey in renewable energy. It reflects the growing trust in our ability to deliver large-scale, sustainable solutions that align with India’s clean energy ambitions.
“As we expand our presence in this fast-evolving solar sector, our focus remains on combining innovation, efficiency, and responsible growth to create long-term value for both consumers and communities.

Crompton’s growing presence in the solar segment is backed by its strong brand equity, robust distribution network, and after sales service reach. Building on these capabilities, the company is now expanding its solar business across pumps, lighting, and solar rooftops, driving strong momentum in renewable energy while further enhancing its internal teams and execution.
