“By expanding our extensive manufacturing footprint in India, we can provide customers with an extended offering as well as deliver fast and cost-effective solutions suited to local needs,”said Jucker.
The facilities, to be set up in the western state of Gujarat by the end of this year, will produce high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear and plug and switch system hybrid switchgear, as well as dry-type and oil immersed distribution transformers.
ABB`s plug and switch system is a hybrid switchgear solution that combines air- and gas-insulated technologies.
The new oil immersed transformer factory will extend the distribution transformer range by up to 10 megavolt amperes (MVA).
