01 Sep 2025 CW Team

The investment forms a key component of Hitachi Energy India’s broader Rs 20 billion India investment roadmap, announced in October 2024, which is planned to be deployed over the next four to five years.

Commenting on the development, N Venu, Managing Director & CEO of Hitachi Energy India, stated, “With this expansion, we’re proud to support India’s growing grid and renewable energy integration—while strengthening the local energy manufacturing ecosystem for a more sustainable future.”

Helmut Bockshammer, Global Product Group Manager for Transformers Insulation and Components at Hitachi Energy, added, “This expansion strengthens our commitment to India’s energy future. By localising pressboard production, we’re securing supply chains, boosting reliability, and supporting the shift to renewables.”

As India and the world experience surging electricity demand, infrastructure must scale in a sustainable manner. Transformers—essential for high-voltage electricity transmission—require advanced insulation materials to maintain safe and efficient operations. The expansion of the Mysuru facility is a strategic response to global shortages in transformer components, aiming to boost supply both domestically and in key international markets including the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, South Korea, and South Africa.

The upgraded plant is expected to be operational by mid-2027, furthering Hitachi Energy’s long-term growth strategy in India and reinforcing its commitment to green manufacturing and energy transition solutions.

Hitachi Energy India Ltd. has announced an investment of Rs 3 billion to expand its insulation and components manufacturing facility in Mysuru, Karnataka. The move will double the site's production capacity for extra-high-voltage (EHV) class pressboard and laminated board—critical insulation materials used in power and distribution transformers. As part of its sustainability agenda, Hitachi Energy will also replace the existing fossil fuel boiler, making the Mysuru facility an ultra-low carbon pressboard production site.The investment forms a key component of Hitachi Energy India’s broader Rs 20 billion India investment roadmap, announced in October 2024, which is planned to be deployed over the next four to five years.Commenting on the development, N Venu, Managing Director & CEO of Hitachi Energy India, stated, “With this expansion, we’re proud to support India’s growing grid and renewable energy integration—while strengthening the local energy manufacturing ecosystem for a more sustainable future.”Helmut Bockshammer, Global Product Group Manager for Transformers Insulation and Components at Hitachi Energy, added, “This expansion strengthens our commitment to India’s energy future.
