Business Segments and Operations

Wind Power Operations

The company generates and distributes electricity through windmill operations in the states of Rajasthan and Maharashtra. It has wind power generation units in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, contributing to India's renewable energy capacity while providing an additional revenue stream for the company.

Agricultural Focus
