Solar-powered solutions not only help in curbing greenhouse gas emissions, but also significantly reduces energy costs for farmers, thereby, making it a win-win for the agricultural sector and the planet. Recognizing the sustainable impact of solar energy, Crompton has taken a step forward towards a sustainable & greener future by its new range introduction of solar powered pumps.

With an aim to create significant footprints in the renewable energy segment, the company is aiming to deploy a significant number of solar pumps under PM Kusum Scheme in the next 2 years, supported by a wide spread after sales service network and technically qualified channel partners across India. This is achieved through state of the art R&D and manufacturing facilities and a rigorous 5-stage product development process, resulting in a wide range of highly energy-efficient and innovative solar water pumps.
