Founded in 2006 by visionary social entrepreneur Mr. Devang Joshi, Rudra Solar Energy Private Limited was built on one conviction — that decentralised solar-thermal technology can serve society while protecting the planet. Today we are one of India's most reputed and trusted solar-thermal brands and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), engineering clean, useful heat for everyone from the smallholder farmer to the largest corporate.

Research and development at our core

We are engineers first. Continuously engaged in research and product improvisation, we run an in-house, high-tech automated test facility for solar-thermal equipment — where every design is measured, refined and proven before it ever reaches the field. That work is strengthened by active associations with leading state and central universities and a network of research scholars, keeping our engineering at the frontier of solar-thermal science.

Patented, proprietary engineering

Our systems are born in our own laboratories, not assembled from off-the-shelf parts. Backed by patented, proprietary designs, every Rudra solar-thermal system reflects years of original engineering — the reason our quality, efficiency and durability are so difficult to match.

A complete solar-thermal range

Solar cookers, solar dryers, solar ovens and solar desalination systems — plus a wide range of specially developed products and applications, purpose-built for the full spectrum of users, from the bottom of the pyramid to major corporates and institutions.

Application engineering that solves real problems

Across our journey we have focused deeply on application engineering — studying how solar heat is genuinely used and translating that insight into practical, field-ready products. That discipline has produced a versatile, dependable product range now trusted by lakhs of customers across India, powering a cleaner and greener future.

Rated 4.9/5 by 120+ farmers, FPOs & food processors across India

Verified client reviews
  • We dry turmeric and chilli for 400 member farmers now without ever watching the sky. The tunnel dryer paid for itself in one season, and the colour we retain has lifted our market price.

    Rameshbhai Patel Director, Shree Khedut FPO · Gujarat
  • Hygienic, dust-free drying changed how buyers see our spice lots. Rejections dropped and we finally hit export-grade moisture levels consistently, batch after batch.

    Anita Deshmukh Spice Exporter · Nashik, Maharashtra
  • The community solar cooker feeds 200 children every afternoon at our hostel. Zero gas bills, and the meal is ready on time — rain or shine.

    Sister Mary Joseph Warden, St. Anne’s Institution · Karnataka
  • Rudra sized a 50 kg dryer exactly to our mango-pulp volumes. Their engineers commissioned it on site and trained our women’s group themselves — nothing was left to guesswork.

    Lakshmi Reddy Self-Help Group Lead · Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh
  • In Ladakh the cold and the altitude defeat most equipment. Their dryer kept working right through the season and our apricots now grade as premium.

    Tashi Norbu Citizen Foundation · Ladakh
  • The solar baking oven cut our bakery’s fuel cost dramatically. The even-bake quality genuinely surprised us — a better crust than the LPG oven it replaced.

    Imran Sheikh Bakery Owner · Hyderabad, Telangana
  • We deployed Rudra dryers across six SHG clusters. Their after-sales support is genuinely responsive — a call gets answered, not ignored.

    Priya Nair Programme Manager, Rural Livelihoods · Kerala
  • Clean drinking water from their solar still has been a quiet game-changer for our remote field station. Low maintenance and no running cost at all.

    Dr. Sanjay Verma Field Researcher · Rajasthan
  • Honest sizing advice. They told us a smaller unit would do the job rather than overselling — that earned our trust, and our repeat orders.

    Mahesh Gowda Food Processing Unit · Mysuru, Karnataka
  • From enquiry to installation in under three weeks. The 25 kg dryer runs daily for our amla and ginger-candy line without a hitch.
