We always believed in India as a manufacturing destination and this inspired us to set up our manufacturing unit in India way back in 1996. The Bangalore unit has a capacity to manufacture about 60,000 km of multi-core cables and 78,000 km of single core wires per annum.

One of the most versatile electrical products with a wide application spectrum ranging across computers, televisions, appliances, automobiles, aircraft, domestic and industrial equipments, power electronics, drivers and UPS, capacitors are not just energy storage devices, but are also used for signal filtering, processing and power conditioning, power factor correction and transient suppression (harmonic filtering).

The company has been growing at a good pace over these years. In the last fiscal, we registered a 13 per cent growth in net revenue and 15 per cent growth in profit after tax.

The trend and how the future technology is changing, but capacitors are not going to disappear overnight. And while there is a bit of growth, there is no big boost, as of now.

The Indian electrical equipment industry, broadly classified into two categories-generation equipments and transmission and distribution (T&D) equipments-manufactures diverse products ranging from high technology equipments to low technology electrical components.

The gap between power production and consumption is widening in India and will further vitiate with the government´s thrust on manufacturing. Since power outages have become the norm, industrial consumers are left with no option but to use diesel gensets. As such, with a genset power range of 10 kVA-200 kVA, the Indian market is about 100 thousand units per year.

Coal contributes to 70 per cent of India´s power generation, but the sector still needs to quadruple by 2031 by adding at least 600 GW of coal-based generation capacity to meet future energy demand.

Subsequent to the de-allocation of 204 coal blocks by the Supreme Court (SC) of India in September 2014, the Government of India (GoI) notified

With increasing demand for electricity and rising gap between the demand and supply situation in India, there is an urgent need to tap all possible energy resources. Hydropower leads the list for various reasons.
