This expansion represents a total investment of Rs 333 crore, marking the company’s largest investment in the state.
The Goa factory will introduce state-of-the-art Gas Insulated Switchgear and Clean Air GIS (Blue GIS) technologies, which will aid customers in sectors such as data centres, metro rail, oil and gas, steel, and transmission and distribution in achieving their sustainability goals.
