Odisha’s eProcurement portal lists solar-lighting arrangements for pump houses in Khariar Road and several other municipalities. The Khariar Road package was published on August 31, 2026 with a September 9 closing date; related packages were also listed for Kesinga, Nuapada, Junagada, Dharmagada and Khadial.
These are lighting packages at water infrastructure sites, not evidence of solar-powered pumping. Buyers should keep the lighting load, pump load and backup system electrically distinct unless tender documents explicitly integrate them.
What buyers should verify
- Confirm luminaire load, nightly profile and autonomy.
- Check pole, panel and enclosure corrosion exposure.
- Define controls, earthing, surge and lightning protection.
- Separate lighting scope from pump power and maintenance.
