EMPOWERING LIVES THROUGH SUSTAINABLE WATER SOLUTIONS

Shakti Pumps' journey, which began in 1982, is a proof to resilience, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability. The company entered the market at a time when industries were heavily regulated, dominated by state quotas, and fraught with challenges for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Despite these hurdles, Shakti Pumps persevered, initially focusing on government supplies and later diversifying into exports. By 1995, the company went public, setting its sights on the global stage and proving that Indian products could match the quality of their European and American counterparts.

PIONEERING ENERGY-EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS

In 2004, Shakti Pumps made an important move into energy-efficient products, revolutionising the pump industry.

imageRecognising the potential of solar technology around 2009-2010, the company identified a massive opportunity in solar-powered pumps. By 2011, Shakti Pumps launched solar programs in India, introducing sustainable solutions for farmers. Today, Shakti Pumps exports to over 100 countries, holding a significant share of the global market.

SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN INITIATIVES

Sustainability lies at the core of Shakti Pumps' operations. As a zero-discharge company, Shakti Pumps focuses on green energy solutions that cater to both environmental and societal needs. The company's solar pumps are designed to save water and electricity while providing IoT-enabled systems for realtime monitoring. Their grid-connected solar pumps enable farmers to save costs and even generate additional income by supplying surplus energy back to the grid.

These innovations reflect Shakti Pumps commitment to reducing carbon footprints and promoting eco-friendly technologies.
