Lauritz Knudsen Electrical & Automation has announced that its electrical and digital infrastructure solutions have supported more than 50 GW of solar power capacity across India and international markets, marking a significant milestone in the company’s contribution to the global shift toward cleaner energy sources. The achievement reflects the company’s long-standing role in strengthening the infrastructure that supports solar power generation, distribution, and integration. Over the years, Lauritz Knudsen has provided technologies that enable solar projects ranging from large utility-scale developments to rooftop installations serving homes, businesses, agricultural operations, and manufacturing facilities.

As renewable energy adoption accelerates, solar power is increasingly becoming a critical component of energy security and sustainable economic growth. In India, the expansion of solar energy is extending beyond large generation assets to support decentralized applications that improve access to reliable electricity in both urban and rural communities.

Lauritz Knudsen has built a strong presence across the solar value chain through solutions designed for utility-scale projects, commercial and industrial facilities, and residential installations. Its portfolio includes AC and DC electrical systems, switchgear technologies, smart metering solutions, and cloud-enabled monitoring platforms that help ensure the safe and efficient operation of solar infrastructure.

The company’s contribution to the sector is supported by decades of experience in electrical engineering and infrastructure development. To date, Lauritz Knudsen has been associated with more than 2,350 solar projects and has collaborated with over 350 engineering, procurement, and construction companies as well as more than 300 project developers. It has also invested in capability-building initiatives by training hundreds of system integrators to support the growing renewable energy ecosystem.

Commenting on the milestone, Naresh Kumar, Chief Operating Officer of Lauritz Knudsen Electrical & Automation, said, “The true impact of renewable energy is measured not only by installed capacity but by the value it creates for communities and industries. Whether it is helping farmers access dependable irrigation, supporting businesses with cleaner power, or enabling households to benefit from solar energy, our objective has been to build infrastructure that makes clean energy reliable and accessible.”

The company has also expanded its support for India’s growing solar manufacturing sector by supplying electrical systems tailored to modern production facilities. As domestic manufacturing capacity continues to increase, demand for advanced power distribution and automation technologies is expected to grow alongside it.

With India progressing toward its long-term clean energy goals, Lauritz Knudsen remains focused on developing the electrical backbone needed to support a resilient, scalable, and inclusive energy future. Through continuous innovation and infrastructure expertise, the company continues to play a key role in advancing the adoption of renewable energy across diverse sectors and geographies.

With more than 70 years of engineering heritage, Lauritz Knudsen Electrical & Automation continues to expand its role in India’s industrial and energy transformation through locally engineered technologies, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and a growing focus on digitalisation, sustainability, and connected infrastructure solutions.
