Hitachi Energy has inaugurated a new and larger facility of Power Quality Products manufacturing in Doddaballapur, Bengaluru. Claudio Facchin, CEO, Hitachi Energy, “Hitachi Energy works closely with customers, governments, institutions and partners, to enable a sustainable energy future by deploying state-of-art technologies. We have a rich heritage and extensive footprint in this country and this new manufacturing unit for power quality solutions reinforces our commitment to facilitate India’s energy transition to net-zero. It also supports the Make in India initiative and strengthens our long-standing presence in Karnataka as we look forward to collaborating across stakeholders for the success of our shared vision."

According to Karnataka Chief Minister, Basavaraj Bommai, who was present at the inauguration, Karnataka is fueling its ambitions of industrial growth through a prism of sustainable development goals. "Karnataka is a leading contributor to India’s industrial ambitions. With long term committed partners such as Hitachi Energy, we continue to invest to make the state a global manufacturing hub. I congratulate Hitachi Energy for the inauguration of this world-class Power Quality Product factory and look forward to their inclusive growth journey," he added.

As a part of Hitachi Energy’s global manufacturing network, this facility will offer direct and indirect employment and nurture an ecosystem of local suppliers across the manufacturing value chain. It closely aligns with Prime Minister’s Mission Innovation to accelerate public and private clean energy innovation to address climate change, make clean energy affordable to consumers, and create jobs and commercial opportunities.

Manufacturing of electrical equipment is an energy intensive process. Keeping sustainability goals in mind, Hitachi Energy has adopted some innovative processes for the factory that reduce electrical energy consumption per process step by almost 40%.

The new manufacturing facility doubles the existing capacity to produce advanced capacitor units, banks and power electronic compensators for low, medium and high-voltage systems, which are used in the power utilities, industries, renewables and transportation segments. Power quality products play an important role in improving power stability by enabling increased capacity and reduced energy losses.

According to the International Energy Agency, the energy demand in India is set to double over next 20 years driven by urbanization and industrialization. “The power quality products and solutions manufactured at the new factory in Doddaballapur will help reduce energy loss, thereby reducing carbon footprint while meeting the expanding demand,” said N Venu, Managing Director and CEO, India & South Asia, Hitachi Energy.

Hitachi Energy has a deep-rooted presence in the country of six decades with its widest manufacturing base. From setting up our first factory in Vadodara in 1962, we have been investing in the entire ecosystem in the country – from R&D to academia, from employees to customers and suppliers. Today, 80 percent of Hitachi Energy’s portfolio is locally manufactured in India and the manufacturing base in India also caters to the global requirements of five products.
