Industry Outlook
Standby power remains a vital part of India’s energy infrastructure, helping ensure operational continuity during power outages or voltage fluctuations. Ongoing urbanisation, population growth, and expansion of residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects have intensified the need for reliable backup power across the country. Despite ongoing improvements in grid reliability, power disruptions remain a persistent concern across several regions in India. 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 (Source: F&S Report).
India’s renewable energy sector includes multiple sources such as solar, wind, small hydro, biomass, and bagasse. Among these, solar and wind energy have emerged as dominant contributors to capacity addition, driven by policy incentives and technological advancements.

As one of the original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for Cummins India Limited (“Cummins India”, along with its affiliates, “Cummins”), they have maintained a relationship with them for over four decades.

Building on their experience in the Generator Set business, they entered the wind power sector in 2008 as an independent power producer (“IPP”).
