Hitachi Energy to Invest Rs 3 Billion in Mysuru Expansion

02 Sep 2025 CW Team

As part of this upgrade, the site will transition to an ultra-low carbon facility by replacing its existing fossil fuel boiler—marking a significant move towards sustainable manufacturing. This project is part of Hitachi Energy India’s broader Rs 20 billion investment plan for the country, to be deployed over the next four to five years.

N Venu, Managing Director and CEO, Hitachi Energy India, stated, “With this expansion, we are proud to support India’s growing grid needs and renewable energy integration, while reinforcing the local energy manufacturing ecosystem for a sustainable future.”

Helmut Bockshammer, Global Product Group Manager, Transformers Insulation and Components, added, “By localising pressboard production, we are securing supply chains, improving reliability, and strengthening our support for India’s energy transition.”

With electricity demand soaring globally, high-performance transformers and their components are crucial for grid reliability and decentralised energy systems. High-quality insulation materials act as a safety barrier within transformers, preventing internal faults and enabling efficient high-voltage transmission.

Currently, there is a supply-demand gap for transformers and components, both in India and globally. The Mysuru expansion is a strategic response aimed at addressing this shortage, enhancing supply to India and export markets including the U.A.E., Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, South Korea, and South Africa.

The project is scheduled for completion by mid-2027, reinforcing Hitachi Energy’s long-term commitment to sustainable growth, energy infrastructure development, and supply chain localisation in India.
