As India's industrial landscape continues to evolve, the demand for homegrown, environmentally friendly furnace technologies is rising. Ahmedabad-based Plasma Induction, with 15 years of experience in advanced furnace technology, is at the forefront of this shift. With the growing preference for domestic furnaces over well-known international brands, the company is catering to the market's increasing demand for efficient, pollution-free equipment.
One of the driving forces behind this market preference is the global push for sustainable practices. Electric and induction furnaces are now regarded as the most eco-friendly options, addressing the growing concerns about pollution. Governments and industries alike are prioritizing technologies that align with green initiatives. Plasma Induction has been quick to adapt, continuously improving its products to meet these environmental standards. Furthermore, despite facing challenges in sourcing semiconductors due to India's reliance on Japan and the US, the company's growth remains unhindered, driven by a young and determined team that tackles obstacles head-on.
One of the key differentiators for Plasma Induction is its commitment to fast service, helping clients overcome technical challenges quickly. “With the rapid pace of technological advancement, many clients struggle with a lack of skilled personnel to maintain and operate the advanced machinery.
We address this through continuous training programs for clients' in-house teams, ensuring that their equipment runs smoothly year-round”, explains Harshad Chaudhari, Founder, Plasma Induction.
The company is currently working on the seventh generation of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) technology, a significant improvement from when it first entered the market with third-generation technology. “Our R&D efforts are not limited to a select department, but the entire company contributes to innovation, which enables us to stay ahead in the competitive furnace industry. We are a young team of experts, including employees with over 10 years of experience, thirsty for innovation”, adds Harshad.
Plasma Induction ensures that its products meet both Indian and international quality standards, with certifications like CE and ISO, maintaining rigorous quality control throughout the manufacturing and installation processes. This commitment to reliability has earned the company customers’ trust, further solidifying its position in the market.

While Plasma Induction offers a range of standard products to meet market demand, it also specializes in customized solutions for various industries, including automotive and specialized machinery. These special-purpose machines are tailored to meet the unique needs of their clients, with some projects taking up to six months to complete due to the complexity involved.
“One of our most significant milestones includes developing India’s largest billet heating equipment, capable of handling billets weighing up to 500 kg, something previously thought impossible using induction technology”, highlights Harshad. The company also successfully executed the largest warm forging machine in India, a fully automated 1500-kilowatt machine that operates without manual intervention.
Plasma Induction has ambitious plans to expand its operations, aiming to grow into a 5500+ crore group by 2035. This growth will be driven not only by its core furnace business but also by other ventures, including IT services and electric vehicle (EV) technology. Geographically, the company envisions expansion across both Indian and international markets to become a key player in the global furnace industry. “With our commitment to sustainability and a youthful team continuously innovating and developing advanced machines that meet industry demands, we are poised to make our mark on both Indian and global automotive and engineering sectors”, concludes Harshad.
