it a habit of clinching the top slot, did it yet again bagging the Most
Prestigious SD's No1. Power Electronic Company of the year award for the
18th consecutive year. The company is also the largest manufacturer of
Online UPS Systems in India making it the SD’s No.1 Online UPS Company

previous years turnover. Hence registering a growth of little less then 2%
in revenue term, this is below the standard industry growth which
according to us happens to be 11%. Industry awaited & gossiped Numeric’s
future, but Numeric surprised all and sundry by quickly rolling out its
own brand (Digital HPE I 33 & HP FS) from its Salem &
Chennai Plants. Result increased profit and faster turn-around time to
customer request.

these companies, SD estimates APC’s UPS sales to be around 580 crores,
while Emerson is some where around 626 crores. Another leading company
Eaton’s Power Quality is estimated around 185 crores. These figure are
just SD’s estimates through our own market sources and information
coming out of Government agencies. Here it is worth mentioning that
Govt.’s Right to Information policy has come good to evaluate the
unknown to a certain extent.

Tritronics netted a turn over of 55.25 crore up from
51.10 croresit netted in the last fiscal and were crowned SD’s No. 7
Power Electronic Company of the year. Strength wise Tritronics has a
slight edge over over its close competitors as its strategic business
relation with Luminous provide a sharp business edge.
Steady growth & improved performance has been the
hall mark of Bangalore based Techser Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. They were
crowned SD’s No. 8 Power Electronic Company of the year. With increasing
presence in the North, no wonders, if company ends up even higher in the

crores. A growth of nearly double the industry average, the company
followed the policy of going for margin based sales which has really
suited its style of functioning and hence the improvement of one rank.

entrant Hycon India Pvt. Ltd., A Thrissur, Kerala based company which
netted revenues to the tune of 41.90 crores making it the SD’s No. 10
Power Electronic Company of the year.
Conclusion: The Slowdown trends was visible
among few of the top 10 companies barring one or two company which did
exceptionally well, with margin squeezed as volume wise there is increase
in sales of almost all the companies. In all 682 companies were reached,
here it is worth mentioning that many manufacturer have switched their
line of business owing to severe price pressure. It’s a volume game with
small margins, only the bigger and better will survive. Another visible
trend adopted by many a regional majors is the pick & choose method
adopted by companies. Regional players are playing in their own niche
market where the biggies do not interfere. Slowdown has only taken the
rosy freshness out of the business, but the scent still remains.
These rankings are limited to the companies responding
to our survey and data provided by them.
