What ArkEn Solutions does
ArkEn Solutions Pvt Ltd is a Bangalore-headquartered, privately held Indian EPC contractor founded in 2009 that delivers turnkey electrical infrastructure and solar photovoltaic projects across India. The company operates in two interlocking verticals: Turnkey Electrical EPC Services covering LV, HV, and EHV works (up to 220KV) for industrial, commercial, and utility clients, and Solar EPC Services encompassing ground-mount, rooftop, and floating solar installations. Its core technical capabilities include HV/EHV substation design and construction, industrial electrification (HV/LV panels, transformers, DG sets, cabling, lighting, networking, CCTV, fire alarm), full-scope solar PV plant execution from pile foundations through CEIG/CEA approvals, and post-commissioning Operations & Maintenance. The firm has cumulatively completed 500+ MW of solar projects across India and holds Super Grade Electrical Licenses in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, with vendor registrations at KPTCL, TANTRANSCO, and CPWD.
ArkEn serves five primary segments: Industrial & Manufacturing plants, Solar Power Developers (independent power producers and large enterprises), Government & Public Sector clients (CPWD, BARC, Ordinance Factory Medak, KPCL), Commercial Establishments, and Power Utilities & EHV Works. Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based EPC contracts (one-time, milestone-driven), long-duration O&M contracts that deliver recurring revenue (e.g., 10-year O&M with Ordinance Factory Medak 2018-2028), and authorized stockist distribution of L&T and LEGRAND switchgears and energy meters providing hardware margins plus after-sales service. Pricing is project-specific with no public tiers; go-to-market is enterprise field sales, competitive bidding, and pre-qualification against government utility and PSU procurement frameworks.
The company employs 27 people and operates from five South-Indian offices (Bangalore HQ, Chennai, Salem, Secunderabad, Vijayawada). Customer references include BHEL-EDN, TATA Power Solar, Swelect Energy Systems, BARC, CPWD, Biocon, Juwi Renewables, Amplus Solar, KPCL, and Ordinance Factory Medak. Leadership is led by Director Arun Kumar Sundaram (B.Com, A.C.A, MBA from IIM-Bangalore, 22+ years of experience), with a senior team carrying 40+ years of combined LV/HV/EHV and solar EPC experience. The business model is asset-light EPC execution supplemented by O&M and OEM-aligned distribution.

ArkEn Solutions competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Tata Power Solar Systems: Incumbent solar EPC subsidiary of Tata Power that delivers utility-scale, rooftop, and floating solar projects and is also a customer of ArkEn. Overlaps on product mix and target market but operates as part of a much larger group portfolio with in-house manufacturing and project development.
- Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Construction: Largest Indian EPC conglomerate executing utility-scale solar, EHV substations, transmission lines, and industrial electrification. Overlaps across ArkEn's entire service stack but operates as part of a much broader construction portfolio; L&T is also a product partner via ArkEn's stockist relationship.
- BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited): Central PSU executing utility-scale solar, EHV substations, and industrial electrical works across India — and also a customer of ArkEn. Comparable scope as a broad incumbent EPC, with deeper balance sheet and government-backed project pipeline.
Direct peers
- Mahindra Susten: Solar EPC and O&M arm of the Mahindra Group executing utility-scale and rooftop solar projects plus BoS and substation work in India. Directly comparable to ArkEn's solar EPC + substation scope, with similar customer base of C&I and utility clients.
- Vikram Solar: Solar EPC and module manufacturer delivering ground-mount and rooftop solar projects for IPPs, utilities, and C&I clients. Directly comparable on utility-scale EPC and substation scope, with vertical integration into modules.
- Waaree Renewable Technologies: EPC arm of Waaree Group executing utility-scale solar, BoS, and substation work across India. Closely comparable product mix and developer/PSU customer base, with larger manufacturer parent.
- KPI Global Infrastructure: India-based solar EPC and IPP executing ground-mount and rooftop solar projects for C&I and utility clients. Comparable scale, customer mix, and service stack to ArkEn, including substation and BoS capabilities.
- Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy: One of India's largest solar EPC contractors executing ground-mount, rooftop, and floating solar projects for utility and C&I clients. Highly comparable to ArkEn on product scope (EPC + substation) and target customer base (developers and PSUs), but operates at materially larger scale.
Emerging players
- Fourth Partner Energy: India-focused solar EPC and distributed energy company with utility-scale, rooftop, and O&M capabilities. Comparable to ArkEn on service stack and customer segments, but with broader C&I focus and external institutional capital backing.
- Oriano Clean Energy: India-focused solar EPC and O&M provider delivering utility-scale and C&I projects, with overlap to ArkEn on customer base (solar developers, PSUs) and project services including substation work. Slightly smaller and earlier-stage than ArkEn on solar MW delivered.
