New Delhi : Enlight Metals Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s fastest-growing metal aggregators, announced its entry into the solar structure segment as part of its strategic expansion into sustainable infrastructure solutions. The move positions Enlight Metals to support India’s booming solar market, driven by government subsidies, industrial mandates, and the national push toward renewable energy.
The company plans to aggregate and supply solar mounting structures sourced from multiple manufacturers across Maharashtra, with an initial focus on the Pune market, a major hub for solar projects. Over the next two to three years, Enlight Metals aims to expand its solar structure supply footprint across the entire state and eventually tap into new regional and export markets.
“Solar is rapidly becoming a core component of India’s industrial and infrastructure landscape,” said Vedant Goel, Director, Enlight Metals. “Beyond government subsidies, rising energy costs and sustainability mandates are accelerating adoption across sectors. However, the supply chain for solar structures remains fragmented, with inconsistent quality and variable product lifespans. At Enlight, we’re addressing this gap by aggregating high-quality products and offering superior galvanization standards ensuring longer service life and better value for customers.”
Unlike standard industry practice, where 80 GSM (galvanized coating thickness) is common, Enlight Metals plans to offer solar structures with up to 120 GSM coating, enhancing corrosion resistance and product durability. In harsh industrial environments, this means structures that can last up to 15 years instead of the typical 10 years, reducing long-term maintenance costs and improving ROI for developers and EPC contractors.
Enlight Metals sees significant growth potential in the solar structure segment, given the government’s emphasis on renewable energy and mandatory solar integration in large-scale projects. The company’s expertise in steel aggregation and its established regional logistics network provide a strong foundation for capturing market share in this expanding sector.
The expansion into solar structures also aligns with Enlight Metals long-term goal of moving beyond raw material aggregation into higher-margin finished products, improving profitability while supporting India’s sustainable growth agenda.
