Shakti Pumps (India) has received a Letter of Empanelment from the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) to deploy 34,720 Off-Grid DC Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems (SPWPS) across the state.

The project, valued at ₹1,037 crore (inclusive of GST), falls under the Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump Yojana and the PM-KUSUM B scheme. The scope of work includes the design, manufacturing, supply, transportation, installation, testing, and commissioning of the SPWPS units.
