The two companies are currently working on a tracker project located northwest of Bangalore in the state of Karnataka, with several more projects in the design stages.
Vinay Goyal, chief executive of Ganges Internationale, said: “Ganges has demonstrated a commitment to solar energy by diversifying our business to become a major provider of fixed tilt systems in India.
“Integrating SunLink’s tracker technology with our well-established manufacturing capabilities promises to bring not only more local jobs but increased solar capacity to help meet our country’s clean energy goals.”
India recently surpassed 8GW of solar deployments.
