Lauritz Knudsen Powers Over 50 GW of Solar Capacity Across India and Global Markets

Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, a leading player in India’s electrical and automation sector, has announced that its electrical and digital technologies have supported more than 50 GW of solar capacity across India and international markets.

The company said the milestone highlights its focus on advancing solar energy beyond capacity addition to broader accessibility, enabling energy access across industries, agriculture, households, and underserved communities while supporting India’s clean energy transition goals.

India’s solar expansion is increasingly being driven by both large utility-scale projects and distributed energy systems. Solar energy now accounts for nearly 55% of India’s installed renewable energy capacity, with total installed solar capacity exceeding 154 GW. Key government programmes such as PM-KUSUM and PM Surya Ghar are accelerating adoption in rural and residential segments.

Lauritz Knudsen operates across utility-scale power plants, commercial and industrial (C&I), and residential segments, offering AC and DC switchgear, smart metering, and cloud-based remote monitoring solutions. The company stated that it has supported over 2,350 solar projects, partnered with more than 350 EPC contractors and 300 developers, and trained over 300 system integrators to strengthen on-ground execution capabilities.

Speaking on the milestone, Naresh Kumar, Chief Operating Officer, Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, said the significance of the achievement lies in its real-world impact. “When a farmer moves away from diesel-based irrigation or a household gains dependable access to electricity, that is when the energy transition becomes real. Our focus has been to ensure solar infrastructure is dependable, accessible, and built to serve every segment of society,” he said.

The company noted that India’s expanding solar ecosystem is also increasing technical complexity, driven by higher capacities, evolving grid requirements, and distributed generation models. It added that demand is rising for advanced, application-specific electrical solutions across the solar value chain, from generation to grid integration.

Lauritz Knudsen said it continues to support renewable-linked product segments, including medium-voltage systems, AC and DC switchgear, and digital software and services. It also highlighted its role in strengthening domestic solar manufacturing infrastructure as India’s production capacity scales up.

With India targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, the company emphasized that the focus is shifting toward not just expanding capacity, but ensuring reliable and equitable energy access.

Lauritz Knudsen said its role remains focused on building the electrical backbone required to make solar energy scalable, dependable, and widely accessible across India’s energy landscape.
