Trom Industries Ltd has secured a 17 MW grid-connected rooftop solar project from South Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited (SBPDCL) under the PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana, marking a significant addition to its renewable energy order book.
The project will be implemented in the Bihar Sharif circle and involves the installation of rooftop solar systems across 15,335 residential consumers. Each installation is expected to have an average capacity of approximately 1.1 kW, contributing to a cumulative capacity of 17 MW.
Under the contract, Trom Industries will undertake the design, engineering, procurement, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the rooftop solar systems. The company will execute the project under the CAPEX and RESCO Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA) model, a framework designed to accelerate residential solar adoption through utility-backed aggregation.
According to the company, the project is scheduled for completion within nine months from the date of signing the power purchase agreement (PPA).
The order aligns with the government’s efforts to expand rooftop solar penetration through the PM Surya Ghar scheme, which aims to provide affordable clean energy solutions to households while reducing dependence on conventional power sources.
Industry observers note that the project highlights the growing momentum in India’s residential rooftop solar segment, driven by supportive government policies, increasing consumer awareness and the need for distributed renewable energy generation.
Trom Industries stated that the contract does not involve any related-party transactions and that neither the promoters nor promoter group entities have any interest in the awarding authority.
The latest order is expected to strengthen the company’s position in the rooftop solar EPC segment and enhance its participation in large-scale government-backed renewable energy programmes.
