Project Overview
AARAA Infrastructure undertook ITC foundation works at the Kudligi solar project in Karnataka, covering foundation requirements associated with ITC-02 and ITC-03.
The documented work order identifies the project as the 77.4 MWp / 48.4 MW SWPPL Solar Project, Kudligi, Karnataka.
The work package represents a specialized component of large-scale solar infrastructure execution, where accurate foundation positioning, civil construction and site coordination are essential for the installation of project equipment and associated infrastructure.
Foundation works are a critical part of renewable-energy infrastructure. At the Kudligi solar project, AARAA Infrastructure's documented scope covered ITC foundation works for ITC-02 and ITC-03.
The work formed part of the civil infrastructure required within the solar project and required coordination between site conditions, foundation requirements, construction activities and subsequent project installations.

ITC Foundation Works
The project work package specifically focused on ITC foundation construction. Foundation works require accurate execution to ensure that the completed civil infrastructure corresponds with the project's design and installation requirements.
AARAA Infrastructure's execution approach focuses on:
The exact construction methodology and quantities remain subject to the project drawings, specifications and approved work package.
ITC-02 & ITC-03
The documented work order specifically identifies ITC-02 and ITC-03 as the areas associated with the foundation work.
This makes the project distinct from AARAA's other Kudligi work packages, including the separate 20 MWp MMS drilling, concreting and alignment works.
Solar Foundation Construction Sequence
Foundation infrastructure within a solar project requires coordination between civil execution and downstream installation activities:
AARAA Infrastructure's role is to execute the assigned civil scope in coordination with the project's engineering and site requirements.
Working in Rocky Site Conditions
The documented revision specifically records a price revision associated with rocky-area conditions.
This is an important project-specific detail because ground conditions can materially affect the execution methodology, productivity and resource requirements of foundation construction.
Rather than presenting the site as a standard soil-condition project, the case study highlights the requirement to execute foundation works under the documented rocky site conditions.
Kudligi Renewable Energy Portfolio
The ITC foundation project forms part of AARAA Infrastructure's broader renewable-energy work at Kudligi, Karnataka. Other documented Kudligi work packages include:
These remain separate project/case-study pages because they represent different work packages and technical scopes across multiple stages of renewable-energy infrastructure execution.
