Cummins, a manufacturer of engines, generator sets and related components and technologies, announced the opening of its new plant for manufacturing low horsepower generator sets in the Special Economic Zone at the Cummins megasite in Phaltan.
The new unit enhances the company’s ability to produce generators for international markets in Asia, China, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe. This is the second power generation plant to open and the 21st plant overall of the Cummins Group in India.
“Demand for exports will increase substantially with our cost competitive generators and as markets improve,” said Anant J. Talaulicar, Managing Director - Cummins Group in India.
Built at an investment of $17.5 million, the new plant will manufacture open and enclosed low kW generator sets. The plant will also add the capacity to manufacture an additional 23,000 units per year in the initial phase to the company’s existing capacity of 38,000 units in its plant at Pirangut.
The first plant of the power generation business was commissioned in Pirangut in 2008 to manufacture generator sets from 7.5-160 kVA for both the domestic and overseas markets.
