Que: Can you give us a brief overview of Mitarsh Energy and its core business areas?
Ans: Mitarsh Energy is one of India’s leading independent service providers specialising in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of utility-scale solar and wind power plants. With a team of over 1,200 trained professionals and an active portfolio exceeding 9+ GWp across 72 sites nationwide, we are committed to ensuring optimal asset performance, safety, and reliability for our clients.
Our core business areas include:
• Comprehensive O&M services for solar and wind projects
• Balance of Plant (BOP) management
• Remote monitoring and performance analytics
• Predictive maintenance and drone thermography
Our goal is to help developers and IPPs maximise generation efficiency and reduce downtime through technology-driven, field-validated solutions.
Que: The Company recently secured O&M contracts with Reliance New Energy and Hero Future Energies. How do these partnerships align with your long-term business strategy?
Ans: Securing O&M partnerships with Reliance New Energy and Hero Future Energies marks a significant milestone for us. It reinforces the trust that leading renewable players place in our expertise and operational excellence.
These partnerships perfectly align with our long-term strategy of becoming India’s most reliable and technology-integrated O&M service partner. By collaborating with large-scale developers, we gain opportunities to deploy advanced data-driven maintenance tools, enhance our field performance metrics, and further strengthen our national presence.
Que: With over 9,000 MWp of solar capacity under management across 72 sites, what key operational challenges do you face in scaling your services?
Ans: Scaling operations at this level naturally comes with challenges such as:
• Workforce standardisation across diverse geographies and climates
• Data integration from multiple SCADA systems and plant configurations
• Predictive failure management and spare parts logistics
To address these, we’ve invested in centralised remote monitoring, AI-driven analytics, and a custom ERP platform tailored for solar and wind O&M. Continuous training, internal safety audits, and a robust feedback system ensure we maintain the same quality and efficiency across all sites.
Que: What solutions have you showcased at REI 2025?

We also highlighted our Resource Efficiency Program, which emphasises sustainable maintenance practices – like water-saving dry cleaning techniques and solar workforce skill development initiatives.
Que: Any plans to diversify service offerings?
Ans: Yes, we’re continuously working to enhance and diversify our service portfolio to meet the evolving needs of the renewable sector. Our upcoming focus areas include battery energy storage systems (BESS) maintenance, digital asset management, and performance optimisation consulting.
We are also placing strong emphasis on E-waste management, ensuring responsible collection, segregation, and recycling of components like inverters, control systems, and sensors. By collaborating with authorised recyclers, we aim to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable and circular maintenance practices across all our operations.
Que: Looking ahead, what are the key priorities for Mitarsh Energy in the next 2–3 years?
Ans: Our key priorities revolve around three pillars:
Technological Integration: Full deployment of AI, IoT, and drone-based analytics across all O&M sites.
