| Project Title : | Hitachi Energy to invest Rs 2,000-cr for large power transformer plant in Vadodara |
| Company Name : | Hitachi Energy India |
| Project Detail : | Hitachi Energy, a global leader in electrification, will invest approx. Rs 2,000 crore to establish a new large power transformer (LPT) manufacturing facility in Karjan, Vadodara, Gujarat. The announcement builds on the company’s FY26/Q4 results and strengthens its long-standing presence in India. The new investment aims to expand domestic manufacturing capacity to meet rising demand for advanced power equipment driven by India’s rapid energy transition. According to projections by the Central Electricity Authority, India will require nearly Rs 7.93 lakh crore in transmission infrastructure investment to integrate over 900 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2035, significantly increasing demand for large power transformers. The upcoming facility will support applications including high-voltage transmission, HVDC systems, power generation, industrial electrification and AI-driven data centres. Scheduled for completion in FY28, the plant will produce a significant volume of transformers annually to ensure faster delivery of critical grid infrastructure equipment. The factory will incorporate advanced digital manufacturing systems, sustainability-focused design and LEED certification standards, ensuring energy-efficient and environmentally responsible operations. It will also strengthen Hitachi Energy’s existing manufacturing ecosystem in Gujarat and other locations, aligning with India’s “Make in India” initiative, and supporting the country’s long-term energy security and grid modernization goals. |
