The company will provide complete turnkey solutions for these projects and execute post-inverter works covering the design, engineering, supply, installation, automation and commissioning of the power plant electrification. One of the key orders is for a 220 kV substation project, which is a part of a 100 MW project in Telangana.

It is especially focusing on consolidating its position in south Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, which offer immense business opportunities in the form of bigger projects, as well as traditionally well-performing states like Rajasthan.
