Kolkata/IBNS: Vikram Solar, an Indian module manufacturer and EPC & rooftop solar solutions provider, on Thursday, announced the installation of over 300 solar water pump projects in West Bengal and Odisha using the company’s solar modules.

The module manufacturer supplied solar modules to the Water Resource Department, Government of West Bengal for the installation of 140 pumps.

These solar-powered pumps were installed with the objective of minor irrigation. Solar modules for 80 solar pumps were supplied to Public Health Engineering Department, Government of West Bengal, and another 80 to Zila Parishad, amounting to the successful development of sustainable irrigation through 300 projects across rural West Bengal and Odisha.
