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, 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 14 smart grid pilot projects were allotted in 2012. However, none of the 14 projects could be completed till date. Sadly, four of these projects have been cancelled.
