Atlanta Electricals Gets PGCIL Nod For 400 kV Transformer Manufacturing

03 Apr 2026 CW Team

The facility secured accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) last year for in-house testing of units up to 400 kV, reinforcing its testing credentials. The PGCIL approval is subject to meeting qualifying requirements for 400 kV transformers and completion of a short-circuit test and thereby validates the company's technical readiness. Combined nods from PGCIL and NABL are expected to propel AEL into major EHV tender opportunities and to boost progress toward a peak 63,000 MVA utilisation target.

The company's recent investments in the Vadod facility are reported to enable production of high MVA units at scale, which is described as critical for grid modernisation and renewable energy evacuation. The approval is aligned with India’s estimated Rs 9.6 tn transmission capital expenditure through 2032 and is anticipated to support aggressive growth in the renewable sector. This capability is intended to enhance supply reliability and to meet expanding transmission requirements.

Atlanta Electricals manufactures a wide range of power transformers from five MVA/11 kV up to 500 MVA/765 kV as well as auto transformers, inverter duty and special duty units at its five facilities in Gujarat and Karnataka. With more than 30 years of industry experience, the company had supplied 4,710 transformers totalling 107,229 MVA as of December 31, 2025. The plant upgrades and certifications are expected to increase the company's competitiveness in EHV segments and to enable participation in larger tenders. Stakeholders were notified through a stock exchange filing and a media release issued by the company.

Atlanta Electricals Limited (AEL) has received approval from Powergrid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) for up to 400 kV class transformer manufacturing at its Vadod facility. The approval was granted within two years of the facility's groundbreaking and follows earlier steps to equip the plant for extra high voltage work. The development positions AEL to pursue larger transmission projects and high MVA unit production.
