How is India's growing power capacity driving demand for smart, automated, and energy-efficient electrical infrastructure across urban and rural areas?

India is witnessing a pivotal moment in its shift towards renewable energy and energy security. As of June 2025, India's installed power capacity has reached 476 GW, comprising 240 GW of thermal, 110.9 GW of solar, and 51.3 GW of wind. This increase in power capacity creates greater opportunities as urban networks increasingly demand smart switchgear, automation, and IoT-enabled solutions. Rural areas need rugged, scalable systems to deliver reliable electricity to the last mile. We are focused on delivering electrical solutions that simplify operations and future-proof infrastructure to meet the country's growing electricity needs.
