Our strong order bank reflects the growing demand for reliable transmission infrastructure, railway electrification and renewable energy solutions. We are also expanding our footprint across key power and renewable energy markets, with a strong focus on states such as Gujarat and Rajasthan that are witnessing rapid renewable capacity additions, as well as Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu where growing industrial and urban demand is driving investments in transmission infrastructure and grid modernization. At Godrej Enterprises Group, we remain committed to delivering integrated, future-ready infrastructure that supports the country’s evolving energy.”

Over the past year, the company executed several key projects across India, reinforcing its capabilities in transmission infrastructure, railway electrification and distributed solar solutions.

In the railways segment, the company also delivered three railway traction substations, supporting the electrification of railway networks.

The company also expanded its renewable portfolio with projects such as a 6.5 MWp rooftop solar installation in Jaipur, reflecting the growing adoption of solar energy solutions by commercial and industrial customers. This momentum is further supported by the Government of India’s continued emphasis on strengthening power infrastructure and accelerating the clean energy transition, as reflected in the Union Budget 26-27.

With a growing pipeline of transmission, substation and renewable energy projects across these regions, Godrej’s Energy Solutions business is well positioned to contribute to the next phase of India’s energy transition while delivering reliable infrastructure for utilities and industrial customers.
