Enlight Metals Enters Solar Structure Aggregation, Offering 120 GSM Coating

Unlike standard industry practice, where 80 GSM (galvanized coating thickness) is common, Enlight Metals plans to offer solar structures with up to 120 GSM coating, enhancing corrosion resistance and product durability.

Maharashtra-based Enlight Metals, a metal aggregator, has entered the solar structure market as part of its strategy to diversify into infrastructure solutions. The company will aggregate and supply solar mounting structures from various manufacturers across Maharashtra, with an initial focus on the Pune region — a key market for solar projects. Over the next two to three years, Enlight Metals intends to expand its supply network statewide and pursue opportunities in regional and export markets.

The company sees significant growth potential in the solar structure segment, given the government’s emphasis on renewable energy and mandatory solar integration in large-scale projects. The company’s expertise in steel aggregation and its established regional logistics network provide a foundation for capturing market share in this expanding sector.

Expansion Plans

Enlight Metals' expansion into solar structures also aligns with the company's long-term goal to move beyond raw material aggregation into higher-margin finished products.

Unlike standard industry practice, where 80 GSM (galvanized coating thickness) is common,  Enlight Metals plans to offer solar structures with up to 120 GSM coating, enhancing corrosion resistance and product durability in harsh industrial environments. The company's metal structures can last up to 15 years instead of the typical 10 years, reducing long-term maintenance costs and improving ROI for developers and EPC contractors.

“Solar is rapidly becoming a core component of India’s industrial and infrastructure landscape,” said Vedant Goel, Director,  Enlight Metals.

“Beyond government subsidies, rising energy costs and sustainability mandates are accelerating adoption across sectors. However, the supply chain for solar structures remains fragmented, with inconsistent quality and variable product lifespans. At Enlight, we’re addressing this gap by aggregating high-quality products and offering superior galvanization standards, ensuring longer service life and better value for customers,” he added.
