Eaton Power Quality expects to get Rs 100 crore revenue in next three year
from its solar power solution in Indian market. The company expects this growth
to come from remote BTS in telecom sector, solar farms and schemes like energy
feeding to grid from solar roof tops installed by consumer.
“We will be launching solar panel enabled hybrid power solution by the end of
this year in Indian market, along with some other solar power solutions. We
expect all this together will bring revenue of Rs 100 crore for us in the next
three years,” said Deepak Sharma, GM-SAARC and South East Asia, Eaton.
This hybrid solar power solution will be manufactured in the Taiwan facility
of the company and will be imported from there.
In this financial year, Eaton is looking at 15 percent marketshare from BTS
segment.
“In telecom segment we are seeing demand for power solution because it makes
economical sense for them. Getting power from state electricity board for remote
BTS makes big dent in their pocket. We cannot predict market growth at this
moment but we are seeing good business coming from telecom segment. We would
like to maintain our current market share of 15 percent in this fiscal year,”
said Sharma.
Eaton is witnessing low profile demand from BPOs, software companies and
datacenters as it is of the view that there is huge existing capacity which is
required to be expanded.
The company, in the first half of 2010 will expand its existing range of UPS
from 160 KVA capacities to 550 KVA.
In India Eaton has been catering to companies like Reliance, Hughes, Hutch,
Bharti Airtel, Escotel, Sify, Motorola, GTL Network, Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia, AT&T
Communications apart from clients in other verticals. It expects that the
adoption of green technology will drive the growth for the company.
“It is very rare that people are adapting green technology because of social
responsibility and awareness. It is mostly economic reason which is increasing
the adoption of green technology. Therefore in coming days we will focus more on
energy efficient and green products,” added Sharma.
