Switchgear and Control Panel Manufacturing<\/em><\/p>\n

Most people imagine solar parks, wind farms and thermal plants when they think of the power sector in India. The actual engineering procurement of the load occurs nearer to the load. Switchgear and control panels are used in every substation, every industrial facility, every commercial building, every data centre and every renewable energy plant to distribute, protect and control electrical power. These are some of the most long-lasting and viable business concepts in the electrical manufacturing industry today, given the massive public investments and the private sector that has been rolling out projects at a much faster rate than has been seen in India.<\/p>\n

Switchgear encompasses a comprehensive product range, including LT (low-tension) switchgear panels, HT (high-tension) switchgear (to 36 kV), motor control centres (MCCs), distribution boards, power factor correction panels and automatic transfer switches. Control panels cover PLC based Automation Panels, SCADA interface cabinets and relay protection panels. These are individual products with individual customer base, technical certification requirement and margin profile. This wide-range is a blessing for an MSME entrepreneur as it allows several entry points that can be adapted to varying degrees of initial investment and technical skills.<\/p>\n
