The HC held that the supply of a Solar Power Generating System ...


Court Rules Solar Power System Not a Works Contract Under GST Act, Section 2(119); Not Immovable Property.

January 14, 2025

Case Laws     GST     HC

The HC held that the supply of a Solar Power Generating System by the petitioner is a composite supply and does not amount to a works contract u/s 2(119) of the GST Act. The solar power plant is not immovable property as the solar modules are not attached to the civil foundation for permanent beneficial enjoyment. The civil foundation is embedded for beneficial enjoyment of the Solar Power Generating Station itself. The HC relied on the SC judgment in Duncans Industries Limited to distinguish immovable property. The transaction does not qualify as a works contract, and the petition was allowed.
