Together, they offer cutting-edge, CPCB IV+ compliant power solutions, contributing to greener energy and reliable power generation across India.
Powerica Limited’s collaboration as an OEM to Cummins India Limited, stands as one of the pioneers in the Indian diesel genset market. With strong capabilities in manufacturing of low, medium, and high-capacity diesel generators, the four-decade-old partnership is committed to powering the success of its customers through innovative products and offerings. Cummins India and Powerica Limited along with ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) approved CPCB IV+ compliant power solutions, positions Cummins India and Powerica to play a major role in bolstering CPCB IV+ emission standards. Embracing these standards, the generator sector assumes a crucial role in advancing greener development and demonstrating environmental responsibility.
What key factors should be considered for selecting a genset for backup power, and how is the optimal size and capacity determined?
When selecting a genset, factors such as power requirements, applications, fuel availability, emissions regulations, noise levels, maintenance and spares availability should be considered. Optimal size and capacity are determined through load analysis, considering equipment types, power consumption patterns, and future expansions. This ensures the genset can handle the load efficiently while minimizing fuel consumption and operational costs. One should also look at the manufacturers experience in the market – Cummins India along with Powerica Limited have been promising power to the nation for 4 decades.
How have technological advancements affected the design and functionality of gensets in recent years?
Our CPCB IV+ DG Sets are the latest and the most technologically advanced genset currently present in india. The CPCB IV+ compliant genset design and functionality includes progressive engine accessibility & designs, electronic controls, and integrated monitoring systems that have improved efficiency, reliability, and emission control. Additionally, advanced materials and manufacturing processes have led to more compact, quieter, and easier-to-maintain gensets. These advancements optimize fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance overall performance, meeting customer needs.
How do you anticipate addressing the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions, and what role do gensets play in this transition?
As the demand for renewable energy continues to rise, the need for standby power is also experiencing a significant growth. Gensets play a crucial role in this transition by providing reliable backup power when renewable sources are unavailable or insufficient. We address the rising demand by offering genset solutions that comply with the most stringent emission regulations and prioritize fuel efficiency. By offering efficient and sustainable genset solutions, we contribute to reducing carbon footprint and promoting a cleaner energy future.
How do you navigate the balance between ensuring product reliability and meeting evolving customer demands for increased efficiency and performance in gensets?
With India’s ongoing and rapid development, the demand for diesel gensets has significantly increased. Balancing product reliability with evolving efficiency and performance demands continuous innovation and customer-centricity. Cummins India has been investing in advanced R&D capabilities to enhance reliability and integrate eco-friendly features even before the launch of CPCB IV+. Active customer feedback helps us understand the evolving needs. Leveraging technology and insights, our CPCB IV+ compliant gensets exceed environmental standards and customer expectations, ensuring satisfaction, calamity safety and loyalty.
