Aggreko Expands in India with Opening of Second Depot
21 September 2011, New Delhi, India
– Aggreko, the world leader in the provision of
temporary power and temperature control services has announced the
opening of its second depot in India, as part of the company’s
continued expansion in the country. Located in Manesar, 40
kilometres south west of New Delhi, the new facility will enable
Aggreko to meet the demands for rental power and temperature
control in India’s northern, central and eastern states.
The new depot will primarily serve the oil
and gas and manufacturing sectors
around New Delhi, yet will also bring Aggreko's turn-key rental
packages to the mining, construction and events
industries. A key benefit of such packages is in helping companies
deal with power outages and load shedding, guaranteeing their power
supplies and reducing the risks and financial losses associated
with operating in areas with unreliable power infrastructure.
Customers will be able to benefit from Aggreko’s worldwide
experience in the rapid provision of temporary power and
temperature control solutions that enable mission critical business
processes to remain up and running when grid power is unavailable,
when supply from the grid is inconsistent, or in the event of plant
equipment break downs.
“The Indian market is an important focus for Aggreko. This can
be demonstrated by our significant investment in the country since
we opened our first depot in Wagholi,
near Pune, in 2009,” commented Debajit Das, Managing Director,
Aggreko Asia. “The opening of our second depot gives us an immense
opportunity to further support local industry and to help drive
economic growth in a region where power outages are
commonplace.”
In addition to temperature control and
other ancillary power equipment, the
Manesar depot will stock a range of power
generators from 250 kVA to 1250 kVA, with a combined fleet
output of 50 MW. This is enough energy to power 190,000 Indian
households simultaneously.
Abid Ahmed, Country Manager, Aggreko India, said: “The Aggreko
operations in Manesar are world class in terms of the equipment and
systems we have in place. Our reputation for reliability, service
and rapid response to our customer’s requirements has ensured that
we have many of India’s largest and most successful companies among
our customer base. With the Indian economy growing at such a
phenomenal rate, it is vital that industry has access to high
quality, reliable power from a world renowned supplier such as
Aggreko.”
