10:1 Stock Split & Rs 7,000 Crore Order Book: Solar Company Successfully Commissions Ground-Mounted Solar Power Plant in Panchet, Jharkhand

The stock is down 87.6 per cent from its 52-week high of Rs 1,125.75 per share and gave multibagger returns of over 500 per cent in 5 years.

Gensol Engineering Limited (BSE: 542851, NSE: GENSOL), a leading player in India’s renewable energy sector, today announced the successful commissioning of its ground-mounted solar power plant in Panchet town of Dhanbad district in Jharkhand. This project is developed under a ₹40 crore EPC contract and underscores Gensol’s expertise in executing complex solar installations in challenging terrains. The scope includes comprehensive operations and maintenance (O&M) support for five years.

This 40-acre solar power plant will generate over 15 million units of clean energy annually for commercial applications. The site’s complex topography—featuring loose soil, hard rock formations, and mining excavations—required innovative engineering solutions. Gensol deployed advanced Mounting Structure Systems (MMS) and high-efficiency PV modules, optimizing performance despite the steep terrain. The project is projected to offset 21,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year, significantly contributing to Jharkhand’s renewable energy targets.

The plant will bolster Jharkhand’s energy security, reducing dependence on fossil fuels while meeting rising electricity demand. Gensol remains committed to supporting India’s net-zero ambitions through scalable, efficient, and environmentally responsible solar projects.

Additionally, Gensol’s Board has approved a stock split, reducing the face value of its shares from Rs 10 to Re 1. This tenfold split is expected to enhance liquidity and improve affordability for retail investors, making it easier for a larger pool of investors to participate in the company’s growth. The increased availability of shares in the market may lead to higher trading volumes, potentially improving price discovery and market participation. The record date will be announced in due course.
