The medium voltage (MV) switchgear industry has experienced significant transformations in recent years, marked by rapid advancements and an accelerating growth trajectory. India, with its low per capita power consumption, presents vast potential for increased demand as its infrastructure and economy expand. The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and the proliferation of distributed generation through solar energy globally are key drivers propelling this sector forward. Importantly, MV switchgear has evolved from being merely a protective device to becoming the core of power grid automation, with enhanced electronic capabilities making these devices smarter and more compact. Amid these trends, Megawin Switchgear has emerged as a leading MV switchgear manufacturer, adapting to new demands with innovative solutions that meet evolving industry standards.
Customization is one of the primary challenges for MV switchgear customers. Megawin addresses this challenge by developing new and innovative technologies, including advanced sensors, to standardize its offerings while maintaining the flexibility to cater to specific client needs. This strategic approach ensures that the company can provide solutions tailored to a diverse array of customer requirements without compromising efficiency or reliability. “The integration of sensor technology enhances the precision and reliability of products, enabling a new era of highly accurate and ultra-reliable switchgear solutions”, says Hariharan K, Executive Director, Megawin Switchgear.
The company has a proven track record of pioneering achievements, such as the development of magnetic actuators, and remains at the forefront of sensor accuracy and ecosystem integration. Megawin’s client engagement strategy is designed to accommodate the unique requirements of different market segments. The company navigates tender-based projects by adhering strictly to the detailed specifications set forth, while its industrial and consultant clients benefit from customized offerings that prioritize solution-based outcomes.
To uphold high levels of customer satisfaction, Megawin maintains rigorous control over all aspects of product manufacturing, from raw material procurement to final assembly, guaranteeing superior quality. Additionally, its products are designed to evolve with technological advancements, becoming more reliable and maintenance-free over time.
What truly sets Megawin apart from other players in the MV switchgear market is its complete backward integration. Unlike competitors, the company manufactures all components of its switchgear in-house, purchasing only essential raw materials such as steel and copper. “This vertical integration, combined with an extensive range of in-house-developed technologies, positions us as a unique provider with the broadest product range in the MV industry”, adds Jayanthy Ganesan, Joint Managing Director, Megawin Switchgear.
Megawin is proud of its long-tenured workforce, many of whom have been with the firm for over a decade. Their deep-rooted experience provides unparalleled exposure to various operational and technological scenarios, fostering a highly skilled and adaptable team that is integral to the company’s sustained growth.
A Noteworthy Journey
The company was founded in 1987, wherein, over the years they have driven the company’s growth to bring it to where it has reached. The second generation is now taking up the baton for future growth.
Since its inception, Megawin’s journey has been marked by consistent growth, not only in revenue but also in its capacity to offer comprehensive solutions. Today, an essential part of its roadmap is its commitment to sustainable practices. While there is a global movement to phase out SF6 gas due to its environmental impact, India continues to rely on SF6-based products. The company is addressing this gap by developing an Indian solution that avoids the use of SF6, aligning with international environmental standards and paving the way for more sustainable industry practices.
Megawin’s future is aligned with the wave of automation sweeping across the distribution, transmission, and generation sectors. The company is actively developing next-generation components, including advanced vacuum interrupters, protection relays, metering systems, and communication devices such as RTUs/ FRTUs. Its focus on SCADA software further cements its position as a forward-thinking innovator. “We envision a future where MV switchgear is simplified into pre-engineered, off-the-shelf products that are readily accessible to customers”, concludes Ganesan S., Founder & Managing Director, Megawin Switchgear.
