Hitachi Energy India has invested Rs 300 crore in its insulation and components business in India by expanding its manufacturing facility in Mysuru, Karnataka. The expansion will double the facility's capacity to produce EHV class high-quality pressboard and laminated board, a vital insulation material used in power and distribution transformers. As part of the expansion, Hitachi Energy India will replace the fossil fuel boiler, making its Mysuru site an ultra-low carbon pressboard facility. Announced in October 2024, this is part of Hitachi Energy India’s Rs 2,000 crore India investment plan, which will be spread over the next 4-5 years. 

Today, there is a significant gap between demand and availability of transformers and components in India and globally. The expansion of Hitachi Energy India’s Mysuru facility is a strategic response to address this shortage by boosting the supply of insulation material across India and markets like the U.A.E., Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, South Korea, and South Africa. With the expansion, Hitachi Energy will be able to meet the demands of global customers while supporting its long-term sustainability goals. The project will be completed by mid-2027, marking a key milestone in Hitachi Energy’s long-term growth in India. 

Hitachi Energy India is a global technology leader that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all.
