19NOVEMBER 2026Its trading and distribution capabilities further expand the product basket beyond equipment manufactured in-house. Through sourcing and import-export operations, UNO Engineering can provide customers with additional tools, tackles, accessories, consumables and specialised products according to project requirements. The result is a procurement model in which an EPC contractor can consolidate several equipment requirements through one partner.This integration is central to the company's proposition. Manufacturing gives UNO Engineering control over product development and customisation; trading and distribution widen its offering; rental provides flexibility; and technical services extend its involvement beyond the point of delivery. Together, these capabilities position the company as an equipment and engineering partner rather than simply another product vendor.From Field Experience to Indigenous InnovationUNO Engineering's next phase of development is increasingly connected to indigenous product development. The company is exploring the design and manufacture of specialised transmission equipment that has traditionally been sourced from markets such as Europe and China. Its current development focus includes Transmission Stringing Equipment pullers in different capacities, automatic reel winders and other specialised stringing machinery."This transition represents an important shift in the company's business model - from supplying and distributing equipment toward developing greater control over the engineering and manufacturing cycle. The objective is to build capabilities spanning design, fabrication, assembly, testing, supply and subsequent service", shares Raj Kumar.Customer and project feedback plays a significant role in this process. Field experience can reveal practical issues around transportation, equipment handling, maintenance, operator convenience, site accessibility and deployment that may not emerge during initial design. UNO Engineering uses such inputs to inform product improvements and custom engineering.The company's experience with leading EPC organisations provides another source of application knowledge. Exposure to different project requirements enables its engineering team to understand variations in conductor configurations, pulling requirements, terrain and construction methodologies. This feedback loop between project sites, engineering and manufacturing is becoming increasingly important as the company develops its indigenous product portfolio.Scaling Manufacturing & Expanding the Transmission FootprintUNO Engineering's growth roadmap centres on strengthening its manufacturing and engineering capabilities while expanding its geographic reach. Having established a pan-India presence, the company is now looking towards the Gulf and Africa as the next markets for its equipment, rental, supply and technical service capabilities.Over the next three to five years, the company intends to deepen its R&D and product-development efforts, expand manufacturing capacity and build greater capabilities across design, fabrication, machining, assembly, testing and quality control. It also sees strategic collaborations with EPC contractors, infrastructure companies, technology providers and component manufacturers as a means of strengthening its ability to address specialised requirements."The broader opportunity lies in India's continuing investment in transmission infrastructure, renewable-energy evacuation and railway development. For equipment manufacturers, these projects create demand for higher-capacity machinery, specialised stringing solutions and dependable equipment support. At the same time, they raise expectations around quality, safety, testing, customisation and service responsiveness", mentions Raj Kumar.UNO Engineering's response is to build depth across the entire value chain rather than depend on a single product category. Its vision is to evolve into an engineering and manufacturing-led infrastructure solutions company, supported by trading, rental, import-export and technical services.From a INR 1 crore business in its first year to INR 90 crore in FY2025­26, the company's journey has been marked by a steady expansion of capabilities alongside its customer base. Its next chapter will be defined less by simply adding products and more by developing indigenous technology, strengthening manufacturing and translating field experience into better engineering solutions. As transmission networks become increasingly complex, UNO Engineering is positioning itself to remain close to the projects - and to the evolving equipment requirements that keep those projects moving.
