🏢 Poojaa Precision Engg Commissions 4.95 MWp Solar Project in Nanded
Poojaa Precision Engg. commissioned its solar power project at Nanded, Maharashtra on September 16, 2026, marking the start of commercial operations for the facility. The project has a generating capacity of 4.95 megawatts peak in direct current terms, equivalent to 3.30 megawatts in alternating current capacity. The total project valuation stands at Rs 14.81 crore, and the facility was developed as part of the company's stated commitment to deploy proceeds raised through its initial public offering, as disclosed in the Red Herring Prospectus filed with capital market regulators. The commissioning of the Nanded solar facility marks the fulfilment of a key IPO deployment objective, contributing to renewable energy capacity in Maharashtra's Marathwada region while creating a traceable accountability point against the company's publicly stated use-of-proceeds disclosures. The transition to commercial operations at the Nanded site positions Poojaa Precision Engg. within the broader expansion of industrial solar energy adoption across Maharashtra, with the commencement of commercial operations formally disclosed to the exchange as a material development. The project represents one of the larger solar energy investments recently completed in the Nanded district, in a state that has seen growing private sector participation in utility-scale and distributed solar power development.

Three Arrested in Nanded for Selling Same Agricultural Plot to Multiple Buyers
Three individuals were arrested in Nanded, Maharashtra for an alleged scheme involving the fraudulent sale of the same agricultural land to multiple buyers. According to police, the accused obtained money from victims by presenting forged documents purporting to establish their ownership of an agricultural plot located at Mendhla Khurd in Ardhapur tehsil. The accused then entered into sale agreements with buyers who were unaware that the title documents were fabricated and that the land was simultaneously being offered to others. The scheme reportedly victimized multiple buyers who each paid for the same parcel of land, a pattern of fraud that authorities have characterized as a repeat-sale property scam involving forged documentation. The arrests were announced on September 17, 2026, following an investigation into the fraudulent transactions. The case highlights recurring vulnerabilities in land purchase processes in Maharashtra, where buyers can be deceived by forged title documentation into paying for property to which sellers have no legitimate claim. Nanded police have underscored the importance of verifying property ownership through official government land records before completing any property transaction in the district, particularly for agricultural plots in rural tehsils.
