What Amplus does
Amplus Solar, founded in 2012 as a commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop solar developer in India, pioneered the OPEX/RESCO model that removes upfront capital requirements for customers paying only for electricity consumed under long-term power purchase agreements. Following its 2024 acquisition by PETRONAS (Petroliam Nasional Berhad), the company was rebranded Gentari, unifying C&I and utility-scale renewables under a single identity within PETRONAS' clean energy portfolio. The legal entity operating the business is Gentari Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia), with operational headquarters in Gurugram and additional offices in Bengaluru and Singapore.
The product portfolio spans on-site solar (rooftop, ground-mounted, floating, carport), off-site/open-access solar, utility-scale solar farms, wind energy, co-located solar-wind-storage hybrid systems, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) offered on a pioneering OPEX basis, International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), distributed green hydrogen (pay-per-use model mirroring RESCO), EV charging infrastructure under Green Mobility, and an integrated Decarbonisation-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering. The technology stack combines solar PV, wind, BESS, and real-time remote monitoring/analytics. Notable technical milestones include commissioning India's first on-site hybrid round-the-clock (RTC) renewable project with UltraTech Cement and the 180 MW Project Shiva co-located wind-solar hybrid in Tamil Nadu.
The company generates revenue primarily through subscription/recurring PPAs under the RESCO/OPEX model (Amplus owns, operates, and maintains assets; customers pay per kWh), complemented by one-time CAPEX system sales plus ongoing O&M, transaction-based I-REC sales, and managed-services BESS subscriptions. Scale metrics include 7.5 GW of renewable energy and storage capacity (2.3+ GWp operational and under construction), 750+ operational and under-construction plants, 400+ enterprise customers, 300+ workforce, and presence across 36 Indian states and union territories. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales targeting C&I customers in manufacturing, FMCG, cement, data centres, healthcare, automotive, IT parks, and education, supported by inside-sales lead qualification and an annual offsite/event-driven relationship layer.

Revenue model
- RESCO/OPEX Model: Renewable Energy Service Company model where Amplus develops, finances, owns, operates and maintains solar plants. Customers purchase electricity generated through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) on per-unit basis. Tariffs may be fixed or include defined escalation mechanisms. This is the primary revenue stream, described as zero investment for customers.
- CAPEX/System Ownership: Direct purchase model where organisations buy and own solar systems outright through capital expenditure or financing. Revenue is one-time for installation plus ongoing O&M services.
- I-RECs (International Renewable Energy Certificates): Sale of International Renewable Energy Certificates to support customer sustainability goals and global carbon reduction efforts
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Upfront investment by Amplus in setting up BESS with PPA at predetermined tariff; customers subscribe and pay per kWh with guaranteed savings on electricity bills

Amplus competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Hero Future Energies: Indian renewable IPP in solar, wind and BESS across C&I and utility segments, funded to compete for open-access and hybrid RTC corporate PPAs — comparable customer base and project structure to Amplus.
- JSW Renew Energy Five (JSW Group): JSW's renewable energy arm developing utility-scale and C&I solar, wind and storage projects in India — directly comparable in customer segments (cement, steel, manufacturing) and PPA structure.
- Azure Power Global: Developer and owner of solar IPPs serving C&I and utility customers in India under long-term PPAs — directly comparable business model around renewable asset ownership and C&I power off-take.
- Vikram Solar: Indian solar EPC, module manufacturer and developer active in C&I and utility rooftop projects; competes for similar enterprise customers and shares both EPC execution and OPEX/PPA revenue streams with Amplus.
- Tata Power Solar Systems (Tata Power Renewable Energy): India's largest integrated solar EPC and IPP serving C&I customers and utility-scale projects under both CAPEX and RESCO models — the most direct competitor to Amplus/Gentari across rooftop, open-access and ground-mount solar.
- Fourth Partner Energy (now EverEnviro): Closest direct competitor to Amplus's C&I rooftop OPEX/RESCO model with a similar distributed solar, BESS and C&I focused offering across India — Adjia/RIL-backed and broadly comparable scale and customer mix.
Broad incumbents
- Adani Green Energy: India's largest renewable energy IPP with multi-utility-scale portfolio including solar, wind and hybrid; competes for the same large C&I and open-access PPAs though it skews more utility than rooftop.
- ReNew Energy Global: One of India's largest renewable IPPs with utility-scale wind, solar and hybrid; less rooftop-skewed than Amplus but overlaps on C&I open-access PPAs and BESS integration for industrial customers.
Regional players
- Sembcorp Industries / Sembcorp Green Infra: Singapore-based renewable energy developer with Indian subsidiary developing utility-scale and C&I renewables; cross-border Southeast Asia peer reflecting regional scale and PETRONAS-adjacent clean-energy ambitions.
Emerging players
- Freyr Energy: Emerging C&I rooftop solar developer and energy-tech platform targeting SMEs and mid-market in India with OPEX/DaaS models — narrower in scale but directly overlapping in customer type and product format.
