Coimbatore, June 25- Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, a leading player in India’s 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.This milestone underscores Lauritz Knudsen’s 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.India’s 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.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.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’s 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’s growth.

Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation Chief Operating Officer Naresh Kumar said: “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. 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.”

As India’s 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.

Lauritz Knudsen supports the entire solar value chain, from power generation to evacuation and integration into the grid. The company’s portfolio reflects this shift, with strong growth across renewable-linked products, including medium-voltage solutions, AC and DC Switchgear solutions, software and services.
