Crompton to Power Farmers with 1,884 Solar Water Pumps Under Government's PM-KUSUM Initiative, Wining an Order of Rs. 49 Crs
The project will provide farmers with sustainable irrigation solutions that are reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain. Crompton's end-to-end scope includes a five-year warranty, repair and maintenance services, and advanced Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) for each installation, ensuring dependable performance in rural and off-grid regions. Delivery will be backed by trained personnel, district-level service centers, and a bilingual helpline for responsive support throughout the contract period.
In a country where over 60% of the population depends on agriculture, reliable irrigation remains a constant challenge. Government-backed schemes like PM-KUSUM and the National Solar Mission are accelerating the adoption of solar water pumps to address water scarcity and erratic electricity in rural areas and are driven by the demand for efficient irrigation, rising environmental awareness, and new technologies such as IoT-enabled monitoring. This creates a strong opportunity for Crompton to deliver high-performance, future-ready solutions that advance renewable energy goals while supporting farming communities.
Mr. Rajat Chopra, Business Head – Home Electricals & Pumps at Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., said, 'Being selected by MSEDCL under the PM-KUSUM scheme to deliver 1,884 solar water pumping systems is a proud moment for us. This project, with an order size of Rs. 49 Crs, strengthens our commitment to providing farmers with solutions that are not only efficient and durable but also sustainable for the long term. It reflects the trust placed in Crompton's product quality, service network, and technical expertise. We will continue to drive clean energy adoption and help farming communities gain reliable access to water through innovative pumping technology.'

Following the stake sale, her holding in Apollo will reduce to 2.11 per cent. This deal is priced at a 2 per cent discount to Thursday's closing price of Rs 7,925. Apollo Hospitals shares closed with gains of Rs 42, or 0.54 per cent. Her sisters, Preetha Reddy, Shobana Kamineni, and Sangita Reddy, hold 0.73 per cent, 1.56 per cent, and 1.69 per cent stakes, respectively, in the company. Interestingly, it was Suneeta Reddy who suggested the name 'Apollo' for her father, Prathap C Reddy's hospital chain back in 1983.
