Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals has secured an additional ₹64.99 crore order from MSEDCL to design, supply, install and maintain 3,000 off-grid solar water pumping systems under the PM-KUSUM-B scheme. The project includes a five-year maintenance contract and is scheduled to be executed within 60 days of the work order.
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals share price closed at ₹258.90 on July 8, 2026, down 3.5% for the day, amid a broader market sell-off triggered by escalating geopolitical tensions. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹268.00 and a low of ₹256.50, while trading volume stood at 19.40 lakh shares compared with the 30-day average of 25.80 lakh shares. Despite the weak market sentiment, the company announced an additional order worth ₹64.99 crore from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) for the supply and installation of 3,000 solar photovoltaic water pumping systems under the PM-KUSUM-B scheme
The Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals has been awarded another allocation through a Letter of Empanelment & Rate Contract which has been announced initially on July 2, 2026. The new order has been awarded by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited popularly known as MSEDCL, the state-owned electricity distribution company of Maharashtra. The amount of the new allocation is ₹64.99 crore.
This contract will provide for the design, manufacture, supply, transportation, installation, testing, and commissioning of 3,000 off-grid DC Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems, known as SPWPS. Apart from the installation process, the scope also includes an entire system warranty, as well as repairs and maintenance for five years. There is also the provision for a Remote Monitoring System, or RMS, which shall be provided through this contract, in order to monitor the installed systems in various parts of Maharashtra.
Execution of the order is required to take place within 60 days from the date of issuance of the notice to proceed or work order, and thus, it qualifies as a short cycle contract in respect of time for delivery.
The systems are being installed using the MTSKPY/PM-KUSUM-B framework. PM-KUSUM stands for Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan and is a central government initiative which seeks to increase the application of solar energy in the agricultural sector.
Under Component B of the PM-KUSUM scheme the plan focuses on the use of solar-powered standalone agricultural pumps to minimize the use of diesel for irrigation purposes, thus providing the farmer with a cost-effective means of powering the fields. Maharashtra is one of the states that has implemented the scheme, and the agency responsible for procurement in the state is MSEDCL.
This order adds to Crompton's presence in the government and institutional B2B space, which runs alongside its consumer-facing business in fans, lighting, pumps, and appliances. Solar water pumping systems for agricultural use fall within the company's pumps vertical, and contract wins under government schemes of this nature provide revenue visibility. The 5-year maintenance component is particularly noteworthy, as it extends the revenue relationship with MSEDCL well beyond the point of installation.
The company has not provided a cumulative total of orders received under the broader empanelment contract, but the current additional allocation of ₹64.99 crore follows the original contract intimated on July 2, 2026,
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited is one of India's leading consumer electrical companies, with products spanning fans, lighting, pumps, and home appliances. The company operates through a wide distribution network and serves both retail consumers and institutional clients.
The new order worth ₹64.99 crore from MSEDCL serves to increase the involvement of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals in solar projects that are backed by the government. Besides offering and setting up 3,000 solar water pumps, the company will have the responsibility of maintaining them for five years.
