Hitachi Energy Invests Rs 300 Cr to Expand Mysuru Plant Capacity

Hitachi Energy has made a big announcement saying that they will be investing Rs 300 crore to expand Mysuru plant capacity.

The investments will double the production of EHV class of high-quality pressboard and laminated board. This is part of the company's Rs 2,000 crore investment roadmap, which is planned over the next four to five years.

The Mysuru facility is important as it provides transformer insulation materials, which are in demand across the world.

The expanded facility will help Hitachi Energy solidify its presence in insulation and components for not only the Indian market but also to growing markets abroad including the U.A.E., Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, South Korea and South Africa.

Helmut Bockshammer, Global Product Group Manager for Transformers Insulation and Components, Hitachi Energy, stated, “This expansion strengthens our commitment to India’s energy future. By localizing pressboard production, we’re securing supply chains, boosting reliability, and supporting the shift to renewables.”
