Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals has secured an order to supply 77 MW of on-grid residential rooftop solar systems in Andhra Pradesh. The total order amounts to ₹4.45 billion (~$50.42 million).

This order is for the supply of 2 kW solar systems to 40,000 households. It follows an earlier order the company received, amounting to ₹515.9 million (~$5.8 million) to supply solar modules, inverters, and AC and DC distribution boxes for rooftop solar projects in Telangana.

Crompton said its entry into the solar rooftop segment is part of its broader strategy to expand its total addressable market from its current range of ₹750 billion (~$8.4 billion) to ₹1 trillion (~$11.26 billion), ultimately aiming to reach ₹2 trillion (~$22.5 billion).

The company said the rooftop solar segment represents a growing opportunity of roughly ₹200 billion (~$2.26 billion) to ₹250 billion (~$2.83 billion) and is expected to grow at more than 20% annually. Crompton is expanding its solar solutions across pumps, lighting, and rooftop systems.

According to Mercom India’s Q2 2025 India Rooftop Solar Market Report, India added 2.8 GW of rooftop solar capacity in the first half (1H) of 2025. The installations grew 158% year-over-year.

The installation growth in 1H and Q2 of 2025 was mostly driven by the clearance of delayed registrations under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the commissioning of new systems, and enhancements to the PM Surya Ghar portal.

In September this year, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi announced that the government had approved a power utility-led model under the Surya Ghar program.

Approximately two million rooftop solar systems were installed under the Surya Ghar program by September. Approximately half of the households were receiving zero bills, and many were also earning money by selling excess electricity.

In April, the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission waived application fees and net metering charges for domestic consumers installing rooftop solar systems of up to 10 kW under the Surya Ghar program.
