WelcometoIndiainBusiness
There is a strong manufacturing base for the manufacture of Heavy Electrical equipments in the country.
Manufacturers of Heavy Electrical equipment have absorbed latest technology available in the world up to a unit
capacity of 660 MW and gearing up for adopting supercritical technology for unit size of 800 MW and above for
thermalsets.
Industryisaugmentingitsinstalledcapacitytomeettheambitious11thPlantargetandfuturegrowthofinstallation

equipmentuptohighervoltageclassof765KVarealsobeingmanufacturedbyIndianIndustry.
Two Development Councils functioning under the Department, relating to Capital Goods & Engineering Industries
i.e. Development Council for Machine Tool Industry and Development Council for Textile Machinery have been
reconstituted.

equipment. Switchgear is used both to deenergise equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults
downstream. Switchgear & Control gear are indispensable not only in transmission and distribution of power, but
anywhere where there is a need to access and control electricity.The Indian Switchgear Industry is manufacturing
the entire range of circuit breakers from bulk oil, minimum oil, air blast,vacuum to sulphur hexafluoride as per
standard specification. Switchgear & Control gear Industry in India is a fully developed and mature industry,
producing and supplying a wide variety of switchgear and control gear items needed by the industrial and power
