Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 03: Supreme Power Equipment Limited(SPEL) (NSE: SUPREMEPWR), one of India’s leading manufacturers of power and distribution transformers, has successfully commenced commercial production at its new manufacturing unit located at Kannur Village, Thiruvallur District, near Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The newly commissioned facility is designed for the manufacture of power transformers up to 200 MVA and 220 kV, with an annual production capacity of 6,000–6,500 MVA. With the commencement of operations at this unit, the company’s total installed manufacturing capacity now stands at approximately 9,000 MVA per annum, significantly enhancing its production capabilities.
Prior to this expansion, the company operated with an installed capacity of 2,500 MVA for transformers up to 110 kV, with capacity utilisation levels ranging between 70% and 80%. The new facility substantially increases Supreme Power Equipment Limited’s manufacturing bandwidth by enabling the production of higher voltage and larger MVA-rated transformers, positioning the company to cater to more complex and large-scale power infrastructure projects.
The expansion involves an investment of approximately ₹100 Crand above, covering the establishment of infrastructure, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and supporting facilities for high-capacity transformer production. The project is funded through a combination of IPO proceeds, internal accruals, debt, and proceeds from a preferential issue, ensuring a balanced and diversified financing structure.
The capacity augmentation is strategically aligned with growing demand in the power transmission and distribution sector. The expansion is expected to enable execution of larger MVA contracts, strengthen revenue visibility over the medium term, and support sustained business growth by addressing increasing requirements from utilities, industrial customers, and infrastructure projects.
