Servotech Renewable Power Systems Secures 1,415 kW Solar Rooftop Project from South Central Railway Vijayawada Division

Key Details at a Glance:

• Organization: South Central Railway (Vijayawada Division)
• Total Capacity: 1,415 kW (1.4 MW)
• Total Systems: 46 Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar Systems
• Location Coverage: Multiple railway sites across the Vijayawada Division in Andhra Pradesh.

Overview of the Award

Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd., an NSE-listed leader in renewable energy and EV infrastructure, has been awarded a contract to deploy 1,415 kW of solar rooftop capacity for the Vijayawada Division (BZA) of the South Central Railway (SCR). The project, which involves the installation of 46 separate grid-connected systems, was secured through a competitive bidding process. This award is regulated under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and underscores the company’s increasing penetration into large-scale public infrastructure.

The contract comes as Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd. reports its strongest financial standing to date. According to recent filings, the company’s EBITDA margin expanded to 11.6% in FY26—the highest in its history as a listed entity. With solar products now accounting for 51% of the company’s total revenue, this award further solidifies an expanding institutional order book that reached a record quarter in Q4 FY26.

Institutional Oversight and Sustainability Targets This initiative falls under the strategic oversight of the Rail Energy Management Company (REMCL), the entity mandated by Indian Railways to maximize the solarization of railway assets. The project is a vital component of the Indian Railways’ commitment to reducing its emissions intensity to 33% from 2005 levels by 2030. By integrating high-performance solar solutions, the Vijayawada Division is contributing to the national objective of reaching net-zero carbon emissions through a mix of traction and non-traction renewable energy sourcing.

Project Scope and Implementation

Technical Responsibilities Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd. is tasked with the full lifecycle execution of the grid-connected solar systems. The technical scope includes:

• Design and Engineering: Site-specific planning for diverse railway building topographies.
• Supply of Components: Procurement of high-performance grid-tied inverters and solar hardware.
• Installation: Mounting and electrical integration across 46 designated sites.
• Testing: Comprehensive performance verification and safety audits.
• Commissioning: Final synchronization with the grid to begin clean power generation.

Execution Timeline and Regional Transition The contract mandates a strict six-month timeline for completion from the issuance of the Letter of Award (LOA). This rapid deployment is critical as the Vijayawada Division prepares for a major administrative reorganization. Effective June 1, 2026, the division will transition from the South Central Railway (SCR) to the newly operationalized South Coast Railway (SCoR) zone, which will be headquartered in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.

Management Perspective

Sarika Bhatia, Director of Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd., noted the strategic importance of the collaboration:

“We are pleased to strengthen our association with Indian Railways through this project with the Vijayawada Division. Such projects reflect the growing momentum towards clean energy integration across critical public infrastructure in India. We remain committed to delivering efficient, reliable, and high-performance solar solutions that support institutions in achieving their sustainability objectives while contributing to broader renewable energy adoption goals.”
