About the Company

We are an integrated power solutions provider specialising in diesel generator sets ("DG sets"), medium speed large generators ("MSLG"), and related services. Our comprehensive product range spans capacities from 7.5 kVA to 10,000 kVA, serving the primary and standby power needs of varied industries. Leveraging our expertise, we expanded into the wind power sector in 2008 as an independent power producer and have since developed capabilities as an engineering, procurement, and construction contractor, as well as an operation and maintenance service provider for balance of plant.

Industry Overview

According to the F&S Report, standby power remains a vital part of India's energy infrastructure, helping ensure operational continuity during power outages or voltage fluctuations. According to the F&S Report, ongoing urbanisation, population growth, and expansion of residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects have intensified the need for reliable backup power across the country. According to the F&S Report, despite ongoing improvements in grid reliability, power disruptions remain a persistent concern across several regions in India. According to the F&S Report, this has led to increased adoption of DG sets, UPS systems, inverters, and battery storage solutions across diverse sectors such as commercial, manufacturing, information technology and data centres, telecom, and infrastructure.
