Q. As the company transitions from a regional presence to a global footprint, what strategies will drive growth in both existing and new international markets?

At Uttam Bharat Electricals, our journey from a domestic mainstay to a globally recognized player has been rooted in product integrity, market responsiveness, and a culture of continuous improvement. As we expand our international presence, our focus is on offering solutions aligned with globally harmonized standards while being adaptable to regional specifications.

By strengthening our engineering base, investing in compliant infrastructure, and deepening engagement through credible references and certifications, we are creating a reliable foundation for sustained global growth—without compromising on the agility that sets us apart.

Q. With a strong emphasis on quality assurance, backed by an NABL-accredited in-house lab and key tests like impulse, tan-delta, and temperature rise, how does the company ensure continuous improvement in testing procedures?

Our approach to quality is proactive and evolving. The NABL-accredited lab at our facility ensures precision and traceability in critical tests, including impulse and temperature rise. But our edge lies in integrating insights from these tests into a feedback loop that influences design, sourcing, and field performance tracking.

Through calibrated audits, skill-building initiatives, and data-driven evaluations, we ensure that our test systems evolve alongside grid expectations— meeting both regulatory and real-world challenges with confidence.

Q. How is the company driving innovation in transformer design, especially in the context of amorphous-core and inverter-duty transformers?

At the heart of our product roadmap is the belief that tomorrow’s energy challenges demand transformer designs that are both efficient and resilient. Our focus on amorphous-core transformers underscores our commitment to energy conservation by significantly reducing core losses.

In parallel, our work on inverter-duty transformers has helped us deliver solutions that can handle high harmonic distortion, fast switching, and nonlinear load dynamics—particularly suited for solar and hybrid energy systems. The aim is simple: to enable smart grids with smarter transformers.

Q. How is the company optimizing after-sales support—covering free commissioning, AMC, health checks, standby transformers, and prompt service—to maximize uptime and customer satisfaction?

We recognize that uptime is everything in the power ecosystem. Our after-sales framework is designed to ensure seamless commissioning, structured AMC support, periodic asset health diagnostics, and the availability of standby units where needed.

With a centralized service team and defined regional touchpoints, we aim to offer not just responsiveness, but reassurance. Our clients know that they’re backed not only by the transformer— but also by the team behind it.

Q. With stricter utility regulations, how is the company proactively enhancing transformer reliability and staying ahead of evolving compliance standards?

We view regulatory evolution not as a constraint, but as a compass. Our transformers are built to exceed existing specifications, with enhanced margins for temperature rise, insulation levels, and fault withstand capacity.

We stay actively engaged with statutory and policy-making bodies, ensuring we don’t just respond to standards—but anticipate them. This foresight gives our utility partners confidence in long-term reliability and ease of integration.

Q. How is the company identifying and capitalizing on high-growth market segments like aluminium-wound solar transformers to sustain its 30–37% YoY growth?

The transition toward clean and distributed energy has brought with it a surge in demand for costeffective, high-efficiency transformer solutions. Aluminium-wound transformers have emerged as an ideal fit—offering an optimal balance of performance, economy, and weight.

We’ve developed BIS-compliant, solar-duty transformer models that are now widely deployed in both rooftop and utility-scale projects. Our ability to co-develop solutions with EPCs and adapt to evolving solar park requirements has helped us consistently outperform the market growth curve.

Q. How is the company scaling its manufacturing capabilities—such as vacuum drying and testing—while maintaining uncompromising quality standards?

Our upcoming 160,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility has been conceptualized to accommodate the future—of both demand and design. With enhanced vacuum drying capacity, high-voltage test bays, and segregated production lines for different transformer families, the facility sets new benchmarks in scalability with discipline.

The design philosophy behind our expansion rests on process control, people readiness, and digital integration, ensuring that as we grow in numbers, we remain anchored in precision and quality.

" Our learnings from years of field performance, R&D validations, and design challenges have also been distilled into a reference book titled ‘Inverter Duty Transformer Handbook – Performance and Reliability.’ Authored by our directors, Vedant Agrawal and Tanmay Agrawal the book offers practical insights into transformer design for renewable applications. It aims to support EPCs, developers, and engineers navigating the evolving technical landscape of solar power systems."
