ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has inaugurated two new facilities producing power products in India to coincide, with the 50 year anniversary of the company's extensive Vadodara manufacturing hub in the western state of Gujarat. The new units covering an area of about 15,000 square meters were built in 18 months at an investment of approximately Rs 250 crore and are located in Savli, close to the Vadodara facility. The new manufacturing units will produce high-voltage switchgear and distribution transformers.
The high-voltage unit will produce gas-insulated switchgear (G1S) and PASS (plug and switch system) hybrid switchgear to serve growing demand in India and will also serve as an export hub. The new transformer factory will focus on the production of dry-type and oil immersed distribution transformers. The new transformer factory will enhance the company's offering in India and extend the distribution transformer range up to 10 megavolt amperes (MVA), 36 kilovolts (kV).
ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact.
