A company spokesperson noted,

This project reinforces our commitment to expanding solar energy adoption in the industrial sector and strengthens our track record in executing complex rooftop solar systems. We thank NVVN for their trust and look forward to delivering a successful project.”

Advancing India’s Renewable Energy Goals

The Salem Steel Plant project is part of a broader national effort to increase the penetration of solar energy, particularly in industrial and institutional segments. Rooftop solar systems are crucial for decentralized energy generation, helping reduce dependency on the central grid while supporting India’s renewable energy and climate goals.

By leveraging industrial rooftops such as those at Salem Steel Plant, the government aims to optimize energy use, cut carbon emissions, and reduce operational energy costs for public sector units.

This latest contract award marks a milestone for Solarium Green Energy Limited, highlighting its competitive positioning in India’s rapidly expanding solar EPC market. With the project expected to be completed within six months, all eyes will be on the company’s ability to deliver high-quality infrastructure on time and within budget.
