Pune : GK Energy Limited, India’s largest pure-play engineering, procurement, and commissioning (EPC) service provider for solar-powered agricultural water pump systems, announced that it successfully installed 7,620 off-grid solar pumps in Maharashtra, accounting for approximately 17% of the total 45,911 solar pumps installed under the Guinness World Record achieved by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL).

These installations were completed within an intensive 30-day execution window from October 27, 2025, to November 25, 2025, underscoring GK Energy’s scale, execution capability, and operational excellence.

In addition to execution, GK Energy acted as the Strategic Advisor to MSEDCL, playing a critical role in enabling and coordinating the end-to-end execution of this record-breaking initiative for MSEDCL. The role of GK Energy in the project encompassed concept development, strategy development, planning, co-ordination, documentation, framework design and stakeholder management to ensure successful accomplishment.

The installations were carried out under the Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump Yojana, a flagship Government of Maharashtra programme aimed at promoting off-grid solar-powered irrigation systems.

Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Gopal Kabra, CMD & CEO, GK Energy Limited, said:
“I sincerely thank MSEDCL for trusting and accepting GK Energy in a dual role first, as a Strategic Advisor for concept development, planning, and execution, and second, as a Vendor, giving us the opportunity to perform and contribute meaningfully on the ground.

Contributing nearly 17% of the total installations within a 30-day timeframe is a testament to our execution strength and commitment. Acting as the Strategic Advisor for this historic initiative further reflects the trust placed in GK Energy by MSEDCL and the Government of Maharashtra. Our focus remains on enabling scalable, decentralized solar solutions that support sustainable agriculture.”

The initiative is expected to strengthen Maharashtra’s solar irrigation ecosystem by reducing dependence on grid electricity and diesel, lowering energy costs for farmers, and enabling reliable daytime irrigation.
