Atlanta Electricals Gets PowerGrid Approval for 400 kV Transformer Manufacturing

Atlanta Electricals Limited has received approval from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) to manufacture transformers up to the 400 kV class at its upcoming Vadod facility.

This approval is expected to be implemented within 2 years from the groundbreaking of the facility. The development marks a key milestone for the company as it expands its capabilities in the Extra High Voltage (EHV) transformer segment.

The approval highlights Atlanta Electricals’ growing presence in the power equipment manufacturing space and reflects the company’s readiness to support India’s expanding power infrastructure.

Strengthening Presence in the EHV Segment

PGCIL’s approval validates Atlanta Electricals’ technical capabilities and manufacturing strength. It also demonstrates the company’s commitment to entering the EHV transformer market, which plays a critical role in high-capacity power transmission networks.

However, the company will still need to meet certain qualifying requirements for manufacturing 400 kV transformers. This includes successfully completing a short-circuit test and securing the required certifications before participating in large-scale supply contracts.

Opportunities in Large EHV Tenders

Approvals from both PGCIL and the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) are expected to help Atlanta Electricals participate in large EHV tenders. These approvals will also support the company’s plans to scale up operations toward its peak capacity utilisation target of 63,000 MVA.

Atlanta Electricals brings more than 30 years of experience in the transformer manufacturing industry. Its diversified portfolio includes power transformers, auto transformers and inverter duty transformers designed for various industrial and power sector applications.

Mr. Niral Patel, Chairman and Managing Director, Atlanta Electricals Limited, said, “This approval validates AEL's recent investments in the Vadod facility, enabling production of high-MVA units at scale that is critical for India's grid modernization and renewable evacuation. This certification supports AEL for aggressive growth in renewable energy sector and aligns with India’s INR 9.6 Tn transmission capex through 2032.”
