Rooftop solar for warehouses and workshops in Mundra.
Mundra splits between two licensees. Plots inside the Mundra SEZ licence area buy power from MPSEZ Utilities Limited; the town, villages and yards outside it are on PGVCL. We confirm yours from the bill, then size a plant for your sheds, cold rooms or workshop. Modules come through us as an authorised channel partner of Adani.

The short answer
A warehouse, workshop or small factory in Mundra can put solar on its own roof and buy fewer daytime units from the grid. Inside the Mundra SEZ licence area your supplier is MPSEZ Utilities Limited; outside it, PGVCL serves you through its Mandvi division. Each kW yields 4 to 4.5 units a day. Businesses get no PM Surya Ghar subsidy, but can claim 40% accelerated depreciation.

Mundra: a port town, an SEZ and the yards between them
Mundra is a coastal taluka on the Gulf of Kutch, and most of its industry exists because of the port. This page is for the smaller businesses that grew up around it, not the port operator's own plants.
The MSME-DI industrial profile of Kachchh lists Mundra among the district's five industrial talukas, with Bhuj, Anjar, Gandhidham and Mandvi. It describes Mundra Port as an integral part of the Mundra SEZ and places it about 10 km from Mundra town. The district administration's own summary names industrial parks at Mundra, Gandhidham and Samakhiyali, and counts salt works in Mundra taluka among Kutch's coastal salt belt.
The electricity map follows the SEZ boundary. GERC's tariff order of 25 March 2026 for MPSEZ Utilities Limited records that it became a deemed distribution licensee for the Mundra SEZ area. It did so under a Government of India notification of 3 March 2010. The Commission later issued it Distribution Licence No. 6 of 2016 and amended that licence in 2017 after the zones were re-notified. The same order says its consumers are mainly industrial and commercial bulk users on high-tension supply. Everything outside the licence area, from the town bazaar to highway yards and village workshops, falls to PGVCL.
We name no business in Mundra as a customer, and we do not list who operates inside the SEZ. Your roof, your load and the licensee on your bill decide the plant.
Warehouses and container freight yards
Large sheet-metal sheds carry lighting, reach-truck chargers, dock levellers and office air conditioning. Their own load is light, so the roof can often produce more than the shed uses. We size to the daytime draw first and only go bigger if your licensee's terms make the extra units useful.
Cold rooms and reefer plug points
Refrigeration runs all day and peaks in the hot afternoon, which suits a solar profile well. Compressors and evaporator fans draw steadily, so nearly every unit the array makes is used at once. Insulated panel roofs need a separate mounting check before anything is fixed to them.
Fabrication, repair and contractor workshops
Welding sets, cutting machines, compressors and overhead cranes work in daytime shifts. Their load is uneven, with sharp spikes when heavy machines start. A plant sized to the steady base, not the spikes, keeps export low and keeps your sanctioned load application simple.
Small processing units and site offices
Packing lines, salt and agro processing, labs and yard offices sit both inside and outside the SEZ. Most draw power only during working hours. RCC office roofs here are often the easiest place to start before moving to larger sheds.
Counting a Mundra plant in units, not rupees
We judge a plant by the grid units it replaces in daylight. Rupee savings are left out because your tariff category, demand charges and licensee all differ, and any one of them changes the answer.
Match the plant to your daytime use. On an open, unshaded Kutch roof each kW gives 4 to 4.5 units a day over the year. So 25 kW yields around 36,500 to 41,000 units annually and 50 kW about 73,000 to 82,000. A warehouse that closes at dusk uses only what it draws in the day, so its daytime meter readings matter more than its monthly total.
Know your connection before you size. Inside the SEZ most units take high-tension supply from MUL, and the licensee measures the plant against your contract demand. Outside it, PGVCL checks the plant against your sanctioned load. Solar lowers imported units but may leave your recorded maximum demand untouched, because a cloudy afternoon still pulls full load from the grid. We read a year of bills, demand figures included, before naming a size.
Depreciation does the work a subsidy would. PM Surya Ghar covers homes only. A business claims 40% accelerated depreciation on solar power generating systems under Appendix I of the Income Tax Rules. From 22 Sep 2025, GST is 5% on solar equipment and 18% on the service share, counted as 30% of a supply-and-install contract, which blends to about 8.9%. At 25 kW the indicative Gujarat band is ₹10.75 lakh to ₹13.50 lakh, about ₹43,000 to ₹54,000 per kW. Larger plants are quoted only after a load study, since wind-rated steel, roof repairs and cable runs vary from shed to shed.
| Plant size | Units a year |
|---|---|
| 25 kW | 36,500 – 41,063 |
| 50 kW | 73,000 – 82,125 |
| 100 kW | 1,46,000 – 1,64,250 |
| 250 kW | 3,65,000 – 4,10,625 |
| 500 kW | 7,30,000 – 8,21,250 |
Indicative installed cost at 25 kW: ₹10.75–13.50 lakh (market range, not a quotation). Larger plants are priced after a load study of your bills and roof.
This is what we actually build.
Heaven Green Energy installations across India. Not stock photography, and not renders.
Engineering for the Kutch coast
Mundra roofs deal with cyclone wind, salt air off the gulf and heavy dust from port traffic. We design for those three first and count modules afterwards.
Sheet roofs, purlins and insulated panels
Warehouse sheds are often light-gauge steel built for cover, not for added weight. We measure purlin size and spacing, sheet thickness and fixings, and look for rust at laps and gutters. Insulated sandwich panels on cold rooms get their own fixing method, because ordinary clamps can crush the foam core.
Wind load, corrosion and fire access
The district disaster management plan lists Mundra among the coastal talukas most exposed to cyclone wind and sea surge. We design rails, clamps and anchors for that exposure, use galvanised or aluminium structure with stainless fasteners, and keep clear walkways for cleaning and fire access across the roof.
Wiring, protection and licensee paperwork
Qbits inverters feed your LT panel, behind your own transformer where you take HT supply. The single-line diagram shows isolators, surge protection, earthing and metering. MUL or PGVCL reviews it, and the protection is set so the plant shuts down whenever the grid supply fails.
Approvals: who does what.
Your file goes to whichever licensee bills you: MPSEZ Utilities inside the SEZ licence area, PGVCL outside it. The steps match; the office and forms differ.
Read the bill and fix the licensee
We take the licensee name, consumer number, supply voltage and sanctioned load or contract demand from your bill. Yards near the SEZ boundary get confused most often, so this is settled before any design work starts.
UsSubmit drawings and application
We prepare the roof layout, single-line diagram, equipment datasheets and protection settings. MUL or PGVCL's Mandvi division checks them against your load and its local network, then approves or asks for changes.
Us, then MUL or PGVCLInstall and record the tests
The team builds to the approved drawings and logs insulation resistance, earthing values and relay settings. Where the plant size needs Electrical Inspectorate clearance, we prepare that file and follow it through.
UsInspection, meters and switch-on
The licensee inspects the finished plant and fits or certifies the meters. After energisation the generation shows in your billing. Our engineer is present at the inspection to answer questions on the spot.
MUL or PGVCLThree ways to fund the plant.
You can pay for the plant, borrow against it or let a developer own it. Tax position and how long you hold the premises decide which fits.
Pay upfront and own it
Your business owns the plant as a fixed asset and claims 40% accelerated depreciation from the year it starts working. This suits a profitable owner-occupier with taxable income. Every unit generated is yours, and an annual maintenance contract covers washing, inspections and inverter checks.
Bank or NBFC loan
Lenders fund rooftop plants for small businesses, and you still own the asset for depreciation. We supply the quotation, bill of materials and units estimate a credit team asks for. Compare offers on total repayment, not on the headline rate.
Developer-owned plant
A developer installs and owns the plant and sells you its units under a long agreement. You spend no capital and claim no depreciation. If you lease your warehouse, check that the agreement outlasts the lease and that your landlord signs the roof-access terms.
How the project runs.
Five stages, and you see every drawing before MUL or PGVCL does.
Where we work from
Heaven Green Energy has a single office, at Mota Varachha in Surat, and nothing in Kutch. We serve Mundra and the wider Kachchh region through our channel partner network and field engineering team, who carry out surveys, supervise installation and attend licensee inspections in person. We tell you this before you sign, not after.
Bills and boundary check · Day 1
You share twelve months of bills and your plot location. We confirm the licensee, supply voltage and daylight load, and tell you plainly if the roof is not worth a visit.
Roof and panel survey · Week 1
An engineer checks sheet condition, rust, shading, dust exposure and cable routes, then inspects your main panel. For uneven workshop loads we may log demand for a few days.
Layout and written offer · Week 2
You get the layout, single-line diagram, itemised bill of materials and a month-by-month units estimate. The price comes from this design, never from a rate card.
Approval and build · Weeks 3 to 10
We file with your licensee, procure Adani modules and Qbits inverters, and install in stages that avoid your loading docks and busiest shifts.
Commissioning and upkeep · After approval
The licensee inspects and connects the plant. You receive test reports, warranties and monitoring access, and a cleaning schedule set for Mundra's dust and salt.
What businesses say after a year.
Commercial and industrial plants we have built, each shown with the city where it actually stands. None of them is in Mundra or anywhere in Kutch.
250 kW industrial system on our chemical plant. Generation has been 8% above estimate every month. Their O&M team is responsive.
Industrial · Bharuch · 250 kW
150 kW at our textile factory dropped power costs by 68%. The ROI calculation they provided was spot-on, break-even under 4 years.
Commercial · Surat · 150 kW
Our showroom AC bills used to be ₹38k/month. After 25 kW solar, it's ₹3,500. 25-year warranty paperwork was registered same day. Smooth experience.
Commercial · Ahmedabad · 25 kW
Six things to check with any vendor.
- Inside the Mundra SEZ licence area, MPSEZ Utilities Limited is the distribution licensee; GERC records it as a deemed licensee since 2010.
- Outside the SEZ, PGVCL supplies Mundra through the Mundra-1 and Mundra-2 sub-divisions of its Mandvi division, under the Bhuj circle.
- Each kW gives 4 to 4.5 units a day, so a 50 kW plant makes about 73,000 to 82,000 units a year.
- Businesses get no PM Surya Ghar subsidy; they claim 40% accelerated depreciation on the plant instead.
- Cyclone wind, salt air and port dust make structure, fasteners and cleaning the first design questions here.
- Plants above 25 kW are priced after a load study, sized to daytime use and sanctioned load.
