As the most populated country in the world, India is the third-largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world today with an installed power capacity of 446.18 GW as of June 2024. This surge in power demand has been driven majorly by two aspects, namely rapid urbanization and increased mechanization of various industries, both of which are critical indications of a healthy and thriving economy. Keeping this in mind, the Indian government has not only allowed 100 percent FDI in the power sector but has also launched a flurry of schemes to augment electrification across the country, the latest one being the Prime Minister’s ‘Gati Shakti Master Plan’ which aims to enhance interstate power transmission system network of 220kV and above voltage levels by adding around 27,000 circuit km of transmission lines countrywide at an investment of around $1,027.5 billion.
While these are all indeed welcome signs for the country as a whole, they have also resulted in a heightened demand for quality transmission line accessories. Although there are a myriad of companies providing these components in India currently, one company that outlasts them all through its profound subject matter expertise and a deep understanding of the industry is Khushvi Industries. Based in Gandhinagar, Khushvi Industries has 15+ years of experience in the manufacturing sector and exports its power transmission components to the U.S., South Africa, the Middle East, the Gulf, Vietnam, and many other countries in Europe.
“Since manufacturing composite insulator fittings for the electrical industry requires advanced materials and manufacturing technologies, developing or getting our hands on such technologies that facilitate manufacturing of high-quality products was a herculean task for us initially. However, through extensive R&D, partnering with global suppliers, and acquiring licenses for advanced technologies, we were able to improve the efficacy of the materials as well as our manufacturing process to produce products that are at par with the prescribed industry standards”, says Birav Shah, Managing Director, Khushvi Industries.
Diverse Portfolio of Products
Under the able guidance of Birav, Khushvi Industries has evolved into one of the leading and most reliable manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of composite insulator metal parts & fittings ranging from 11 KV to 33 KV for distribution and 66 KV to 765KV for transmission. Some of the major products that it offers include Tongue clevis, Socket Ball, Ball-eye, Ball-clevis, DO Insulator Fittings, Horizontal & Vertical Insulator Fittings, Flange & Base, Post Insulator Fittings, Railway Insulator Fittings, and Pin Insulator Fittings(both Top & Bottom)to name a few. Additionally, be it a post, pin, or railway insulator, the company not only designs each of the fittings in such a way that it securely attaches to the insulator without any kind of movement or misalignment but also customizes them for specific use cases such as high-voltage applications in post insulators or the special mounting needs of railway insulators.
“We have evolved our manufacturing processes through strategic investments in automation, R&D, lean manufacturing, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology adoption. By focusing on quality control and product customization, we have been able to maintain a competitive edge in the highly technical and demanding composite insulator market. This continuous evolution has been instrumental in enabling us to provide high-quality
innovative, and affordable solutions to meet the ever growing demands of the power and utility industries”, Birav further adds.
Standing a Class Apart
As a client-centric organization, Khushvi Industries is always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that its customers get nothing but the ‘best’ in terms of product & service quality. To do so, it has implemented robust quality control measures in place, such as rigorous testing protocols for each batch of products, continuous improvement programs, training & upskilling of its personnel, and many others. As part of these initiatives, every fitting that is produced undergoes rigorous testing to simulate real-world conditions, including load, vibration, and impact tests, to ensure they can withstand the rigors of their application. Additionally, the company has active collaborations with experts from the electrical engineering and material science verticals to ensure that its products remain at par with industry standards across all necessary aspects. To ensure timely delivery of the products, Khushvi Industries has built strong relationships with raw material suppliers with whom it holds long-term contracts for developing alternative sources to mitigate risks in supply chain disruptions as well.
Through rigorous research, Khushvi Industries has enhanced the strength-to-weight ratio of its insulator fittings so that they’re lighter, stronger, and suitable for high-voltage and heavy-duty applications
Further, not only are its products in full adherence to international quality standards such as IEC, ANSI, ASTM, and ISO, but each of the products is produced using ductile iron to facilitate high strength, toughness, and east customization to meet specific application requirements. Additionally, the company also utilizes numerous techniques such as hotdip galvanization, epoxy coatings, or other anti-corrosion treatments in its products to enhance their corrosion resistance and ability to function across diverse environmental conditions, thus making them reliable and cost-efficient for customers. As an icing on the cake, through rigorous research, Khushvi Industries has enhanced the strength-to-weight ratio of its insulator fittings so that they are not only lighter and stronger but also suitable for high-voltage and heavy-duty applications without putting undue stress on supporting structures.
“Our ability to address customer demands of custom fittings for unique applications comes down to a blend of strong design capabilities, technical expertise, a commitment to quality, and a customer-first approach that ensures satisfaction and long-term partnerships. Through a combination of strategic approaches involving constant R&D, stringent quality controls, regulatory compliance, strong supplier & partner relationships, and smart financial management, we have been able to maintain a speck-less track record of fulfilling our commitments in a timely manner. However, the key differential factors that have enabled us to maintain a competitive edge in this dynamic industry scenario are our competitive pricing, excellent after-sales customer support, and most importantly, our strong network of distributors”, explains Birav.
The Future Roadmap
Going forward, Khushvi Industries already has aggressive strategies in place in terms of product diversification, geographical expansion, tech innovation, and sustain ability. In light of this, the company’s major focus will be on cementing its position as a leader in the composite insulator fittings industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies to develop innovative and customer-centric solutions.
“We aspire to continue our growth by leveraging our core strength in terms of manufacturing quality, reliability and customer-centric service approach. Further, we will also be focusing on aligning our strategic initiatives with the evolving technology landscape of the insulator fittings industry by embracing sustainability and smart technologies to support our global market expansion plans. Most importantly, our overall organizational objective will be to position ourselves as a resilient and futuristic business that is capable of catering to diverse energy infrastructure requirements of tomorrow”, concludes Birav.
