Siemens Energy India Limited has begun construction of an expansion block at its switchgear manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The unit, in operation for more than 25 years, supplies medium-voltage and high-voltage products for domestic customers and export markets. The expansion is intended to increase production capacity as electricity demand and grid modernisation activity continue to accelerate across India.
Siemens Energy India is expanding both its transformer and switchgear factories in response to higher requirements for technologies that enable renewable energy integration, industrial growth, electric mobility, and rail electrification. The switchgear facility forms part of this broader capacity ramp-up and is positioned to support rising volumes linked to transmission and distribution infrastructure projects.
“The decision to expand this facility reflects the growing demand for technologies that enable renewables integration, grid modernization, green hydrogen production, electric mobility, industrial expansion, and modern rail networks. This growth is powered by India’s rising role as a trusted manufacturing hub for the world,” stated Guilherme Mendonca, MD & CEO, Siemens Energy India Limited. “For more than 25 years, our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar facility has supported India and the world with high quality products for the Siemens Energy global network and for customers in both domestic and export markets.”
Executives present at the groundbreaking included Tim Holt from the Siemens Energy AG Executive Board, Gelem Del Mar, Senior Vice President for the Switchgear Business, and Beate Kühne, Head of Finance for Switchgears, along with Siemens Energy India Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Guilherme Mendonca.
The company’s latest financial results show that revenue for the year ended 30 September 2025 reached INR 78.27 billion, supported by an order backlog of INR 162.05 billion, which increased 47 percent compared with the previous year. New orders for the year stood at INR 131.14 billion. The company reported profit after tax of INR 11 billion for the financial year. For the fourth quarter, revenue rose 27 percent year-on-year to INR 26.46 billion, while profit after tax increased 31 percent to INR 3.6 billion.
Electricity and electrification demand in India is being driven by domestic consumption, public capital expenditure, industrial expansion and data centre investments. To address this momentum, Siemens Energy India has also established an industrial steam turbine service centre in Raipur and continues to upgrade its manufacturing operations across the country.
Siemens Energy India Limited was formed following the demerger of Siemens Limited’s energy business and was listed on BSE and NSE in June 2025. The company operates across the full energy value chain, including generation, transmission and energy storage technologies.
