Andhra Pradesh Sees 7.46 MW Rooftop Solar Expansion as Oswal Solar Wins PM Surya Ghar Contract

In a significant boost to India’s residential rooftop solar rollout, Oswal Solar Energy has secured a ₹39.40 crore contract to deploy 7.46 MWp of grid-connected rooftop solar systems across Andhra Pradesh under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

The project will benefit 3,729 Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) households under the network of Andhra Pradesh Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (APSPDCL), covering the Pulivendula and Puttaparthy divisions.

Rather than being merely a commercial contract, the award represents a direct implementation of India’s expanding rooftop solar mission aimed at decentralizing energy access, lowering electricity costs for vulnerable communities, and strengthening last-mile power reliability.

Under the agreement, Oswal Solar Energy will undertake end-to-end responsibilities, including design, engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning of the rooftop systems, along with a five-year comprehensive maintenance contract (CMC). The long-term maintenance component is expected to enhance system performance sustainability and consumer confidence.

The development aligns with the Union government’s increased budgetary allocation to the PM Surya Ghar scheme, which aims to accelerate rooftop solar adoption nationwide while delivering direct economic benefits to households through reduced power bills.

For Andhra Pradesh, the deployment strengthens decentralized renewable capacity within the state’s distribution network, supporting grid stability while expanding clean energy penetration in semi-urban and rural areas.

Beyond the immediate capacity addition of 7.46 MWp, the project signals the continued momentum of India’s rooftop solar ecosystem, where inclusive policy frameworks are increasingly translating into on-ground infrastructure and measurable social impact.
