In response to rising demand for sustainable solutions and urbanization, Hitachi Energy India has committed Rs 100 crore to increase its current product manufacturing capacity at its site in Doddabalapur, Bengaluru.

From 10,000 MVAR (kilowatt ampere reactive), the capacity to manufacture power quality equipment has been increased to 22,000 MVAR.

The action will increase production of cutting-edge capacitor units, banks, and power electronic compensators for low, medium, and high-voltage systems utilized in the transportation, industry, and renewable energy sectors.

“As you add other types of load to the power grid, such as electric vehicle charging or data center operations, the demand for power quality solutions is projected to rise. According to Venu Nuguri, managing director and chief executive of Hitachi Energy in India and South Asia, “it aims to prevent damages to or frequencies of the grid.”
