40.15 (1.30%) Mahindra Intertrade, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mahindra and Mahindra, has set-up a new state-of-the-art, fully-automated, high speed lamination line with dual stacking (a first of its kind in India) and a Built-up cores facility at its Electrical Steel Service Centre in Vadodara. Steel cores, play a crucial role in the power distribution process. This segment is pre-dominantly catered to by unorganized players. Most of these use manual cutting machines, which has an adverse impact on the quality of transformer cores produced. Combining modern technologies with Mahindra Intertrade’s existing manufacturing expertise, this new line will not only automate the process, but will also ensure higher precision, quality and speed of operation.
Mahindra Intertrade is among the global leaders in electrical steel processing for the higher-end Power transformer segment, and this expansion will establish it as a prominent player in the Distribution Transformer segment in India. Mahindra Intertrade plans to open localised core-building facilities in key markets across India, to further enhance its service to its customers.
