Mumbai, 25 June 2026: Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, a leading player in India\u2019s electrical and automation sector, today announced that its electrical and digital technologies have powered over 50 GW of solar capacity across India and global markets.<\/p>\n
This milestone underscores Lauritz Knudsen\u2019s clear focus on enabling solar energy to move beyond capacity creation to meaningful, widespread access, reaching factories, farms, homes, and underserved communities, while supporting the scale required for national energy transition goals.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s solar journey is no longer limited to large utility parks. It is increasingly visible at the last mile, powering irrigation through PM-KUSUM, enabling households under PM Surya Ghar, and extending reliable electricity access to communities beyond traditional grid reach.<\/p>\n
The pace of this transformation has been rapid. India has steadily added solar capacity, with solar now accounting for nearly 55% of installed renewable energy capacity, surpassing 154 GW. This expansion spans two parallel tracks: large-scale utility projects that adds capacity to the grid reducing dependency on fossil fuels, and distributed deployments that deliver direct economic and social impact.<\/p>\n
Lauritz Knudsen operates across three segments, which are Utility scale power plants, Commercial and Industries (C&I), and residentials, delivering advanced AC solutions, DC switchgear, Smart metering and cloud based remote monitoring solutions that ensure solar installations are safe, reliable, and built for long-term performance. This capability is rooted in over seven decades of experience in India\u2019s electrical infrastructure ecosystem. The company has supported more than 2,350 solar projects, partnered with over 350 EPCs and 300+ developers, and trained over 300 system integrators, building local capacity critical to sustaining the sector\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n
Naresh Kumar, Chief Operating Officer, Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, said: \u201cWhen a farmer moves away from diesel-based irrigation or a household gains dependable access to electricity, that is when the energy transition becomes real. The significance of the 50 GW milestone lies not just in scale, but in how widely its benefits are felt. Our focus has been to ensure that solar infrastructure is dependable, accessible, and built to serve every segment of society.\u201d<\/p>\n
As India\u2019s solar ecosystem has expanded, so has its technical complexity. Higher capacities, evolving grid dynamics, and the growth of distributed generation models are driving the need for more advanced, application-specific electrical solutions.<\/p>\n
Lauritz Knudsen supports the entire solar value chain, from power generation to evacuation and integration into the grid. The company\u2019s portfolio reflects this shift, with strong growth across renewable-linked products, including medium-voltage solutions, AC and DC Switchgear solutions, software and services.<\/p>\n
The renewable surge is also accelerating the scale of domestic manufacturing. India\u2019s solar manufacturing capacity expanded significantly from FY2025 to FY2026, strengthening the country\u2019s self-reliance. Lauritz Knudsen has supported this evolution by equipping manufacturing facilities with robust, future-ready electrical systems tailored to emerging requirements<\/p>\n
As India progresses towards its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, the focus is shifting from quantity to quality of transition, ensuring that energy access is not only expanded but also equitably distributed.<\/p>\n
Lauritz Knudsen\u2019s role in this journey remains anchored in its core purpose: to build the electrical backbone that makes solar energy dependable, scalable, and accessible across every layer of India\u2019s growth story.<\/p>\n
