The switchgear market in India is undergoing rapid expansion. Being a developing nation, India is in a phase of urbanization which makes the demand for switchgears all the more growing. With the fast developments, this sector is transforming and the consolidations happening in this market will create a clear divide between the big Brands (MNC) and the Local brands. Customers will get the product, based on the value they spend. The renewable energy initiative driven by the Indian government is giving a fillip to the Power Sector which is very encouraging.
However, Switchgear Manufacturers who have invested in their plant & Machinery in India look forward to their customers to demand quality for their offering. There is a untold gap in the industry for a reliable partner who upholds quality at the highest level. SUVIRE ELECTRIC fills this.
