The future of the electric transmission and distribution equipment market looks promising, with opportunities in the power utilities, residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for electricity, new power generation capacity additions, and the expansion of transmission and distribution infrastructure. Also, emerging trends, which directly impact the dynamics of the electric transmission and distribution equipment industry, include the growing implementation of smart grid technology, the implementation of advanced metering infrastructure, and the transition from conventional to modular switchgear. Eppeltone Engineers is one of the conglomerate companies of the Eppeltone group, started in 1977.
From its inception, Eppeltone Engineers started manufacturing Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) for personal computers and other electronic devices. They added other power conditioning devices like AVR, UPS, MCBs & transducers. In light of the thrust on heavy investments by the government of India in infrastructure, Eppeltone Engineers diversified its activities. They set up manufacturing facilities to manufacture state-of-art static energy meters in 2000.
"We currently rank among India's top 10 manufacturers of energy meters in India. This market is quite specialized. Only a few players with experience are present in this sector, despite the fact that several new players have recently emerged.
And for the past 20 years, we have been producing meters. Naturally, there will be a lot of business in the near future", stated Rohit Chowdhary, Director, Eppeltone Engineers.
Offering Unique & Cost- Friendly Products & Services
Eppeltone Engineers' manufacturing activities are being carried out in the modern and well-equipped factory at Greater Noida, with its supporting units in Noida and Okhla. The products find extensive application with electricity utilities, industries, and commercial establishments, including domestic consumers. Some products are electricity metering solutions, smart grids, power management, battery management, lighting, and metering accessories. Along with this, the firm ensures consistent product quality by subjecting every product to rigorous testing and burn-in throughout the production process. The use of superior quality components contributes to very high MTBF ratings based on field data. "Our manufacturing process is under constant review by the in-house R&D, which directs rigorous quality control adopted at each production stage. ISO 9001:2015 certification is recognized for adopting international quality standards at all levels at its work", added Rohit.
Furthermore, the team at Eppeltone Engineers believes in offering high-quality, value-for-money products and services that meet the customers' needs. Their main point of differentiation is that they give customers competitive pricing, which results in cheaper costs for the same quality. Eppeltone offers a substantial price difference from its competitors in the market. This is primarily because the company's management is heavily interested in technical matters as well as commercial matters of the organization.

As a result, the focus right now would be on the smart metering site. In addition, the company also has some critical equipment for defense sites. They plan to utilize already built radar systems, which took around 1.5 years to develop. In addition, Eppeltone has already begun producing some battery charges for electric vehicles. "Therefore, from 1977 to 2000, the main item was power conditioning equipment. How¬ever, metering has predominated since 2000. Combining the two creates a charger, which these days is all about power and metering of how much you're consuming. In order to enter into electric and consulting, or more specifically electric charges, we have now combined both, and we are also using the same technology", concluded Rohit. Hence, in the near future, Eppeltone will enhance in three fields – smart metering, defense equipments, and vehicle chargers.
