Captain Polyplast has embarked into a journey now to expand its presence beyond the businesses where it is already present. This foray into the solar EPC segment pairs the company's focus on ecological products & technologies that would help it to participate in the government's drive for expanding renewable energy capacity in India by 175 GW till 2022. 

With the thrust of the government on renewable energy segment and drip irrigation, the company is set on an upward growth trajectory in the coming years. The company has set up dedicated teams for the solar EPC project across the county for retail, commercial, and large-scale project applications. It has successfully completed solar EPC projects with a capacity of more than 1,500 KW across 340+ customers so far. Currently, the company has an order in the pipeline of 5,000 KW while additional projects are expected to be finalised and executed in this financial year.
