Real Client, Real Experience
Hello, I am Sandeep Behal, looking after Projects and Operations at Speedways Tyre Company as a Vice President. We are manufacturers of tyres, OTR, agricultural tyres, farm tyres and 2-wheeler tyres. In our tyre manufacturing, the most major role is played by power and energy. We are a major consumer of energy, so our management thought, why not become a power producer? And the best option we saw was solar.
This journey did not start from here; it was sown two years ago. At that time, we converted our boiler to biofuel. We thought, who is the most experienced in the market, who is the most technically sound, and whose services are the best? When it came to technical expertise and an experienced company, we thought about JAKSON Group and JAKSON Solar, which has been in this field for many years, and we decided that we would install solar from JAKSON Solar.
As soon as we started working with JAKSON Solar, they completed their work in a very short time and within the target time given. We are proud that we have invested in solar energy for India’s growth, and we are moving towards clean energy. I would tell all manufacturers and industries to go towards solar, and whenever you install solar, get it installed from a reputed company or a technical expert.
