Annu Projects Limited, a diversified infrastructure EPC company with over two decades of experience across telecom, sewerage, gas pipeline and railway signalling infrastructure, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GEIE Solar Products India Private Limited for the procurement and supply of materials for 8,000 grid-connected rooftop solar systems in Dausa, Rajasthan. The agreement marks Annu Projects’ expansion into the renewable energy segment.

Each rooftop solar system will have a capacity of 1.1 kWp and will be installed under the utility-led aggregation model of the Government of India’s PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to accelerate rooftop solar adoption among households. The project is scheduled for completion within six months, in accordance with the terms of the award.

The project forms part of Lot-3 (Dausa) of a tender floated by Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL), which was awarded to GEIE Solar Products India. Under the MoU, Annu Projects will procure and supply solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, mounting structures, DC and AC cables, grid-tied inverters, internet dongles for remote monitoring and other balance-of-system components required for the installations.

All materials will be procured in accordance with the technical specifications stipulated in the award documents and will be subject to verification by JVVNL officials before purchase. GEIE Solar Products India will undertake installation, commissioning, net metering, beneficiary coordination and the applicable operations and maintenance responsibilities under the project.

Commenting on the development, Sanjay Sarraf, Chairman and Managing Director, Annu Projects Limited, said, “This MoU marks an important step in expanding our participation in the renewable energy segment, leveraging our established procurement and infrastructure capabilities. India’s renewable energy transition is creating significant opportunities across the infrastructure value chain, with decentralised solar power emerging as an important driver of this transformation. Government initiatives such as the PM-Surya Ghar scheme are further accelerating household adoption of rooftop solar and strengthening the ecosystem for clean energy solutions. Through this association, we look forward to contributing to the successful implementation of the Dausa project while exploring opportunities in the evolving renewable energy ecosystem. We believe that our experience across infrastructure segments will enable us to participate in emerging opportunities and support our long-term growth and diversification objectives.”

Krishna Kadariya, Managing Director and Co-director, GEIE Solar Products India Private Limited, said, “A dependable supply of materials is central to completing installations on schedule. With rooftop solar adoption gaining momentum in India, initiatives such as PM-Surya Ghar are creating opportunities to accelerate the deployment of decentralised renewable energy solutions across households. Successful execution of such large-scale programmes requires strong coordination across procurement, technology, supply chains and on-ground implementation. This MoU gives both companies a clear framework for the Dausa project, and we will work with Annu Projects to meet the requirements of the award and support the timely implementation of the installations.”

The agreement expands Annu Projects’ participation in the renewable energy ecosystem, complementing its established infrastructure business. The company intends to leverage its procurement capabilities and project execution experience to explore opportunities across renewable energy and allied infrastructure segments.
