Netel India

What Netel India does

Netel (India) Private Limited is a Mumbai-headquartered manufacturing and environmental solutions company founded in 1989 as part of the Neterwala Group. The company operates across four strategic business units: analytical instruments (Chrom Plus Gas Chromatograph series with FID, TCD, NPD, ECD, and FPD detectors, plus HTA autosamplers and head space samplers); vehicle emission instruments (ARAI-approved NUVO Combo PUC Analyzers, Petrol PUC Machines, and Diesel PUC Machines); gas analyzers (ATEX-certified BIOGAS 3000/5000 and Flue Gas Analyzers); and solid waste management (BioMali composting machines and thermoBACT compost accelerator). The company is one of the first indigenous manufacturers of gas chromatography and air pollution monitoring instruments in India.

Netel generates revenue through hardware sales of instruments and machines, recurring environment management services delivered through NABL-accredited and MoEF-recognized laboratories (stack emission monitoring, ambient air quality, water/wastewater/soil analysis, LDAR, EIA/ECA consulting), and managed services for turnkey projects including sewage treatment plants (ASP, SBR, MBBR, MBR, Phytorid technologies), biogas plants (CSTR and BARC-licensed Nisarggruna), and sludge treatment (proprietary Grey Gold bioenzyme process). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with channel distribution through HPCL, BPCL, and IOC petrol pump networks for PUC instruments and direct sales to housing societies, hotels, municipalities, and industrial clients for waste management solutions.

The customer base spans pharmaceutical, petrochemical, oil & gas, steel, and specialty chemicals companies for analytical instruments; oil marketing companies and automobile service centers for vehicle emission equipment; and municipalities, government bodies, and corporate parks for solid waste and sewage treatment projects. Headquartered in Mumbai with a manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai and regional laboratories in Bilaspur, Surat, Jorhat, and Goa, the company employs 101-250 people and reports financials on a private limited basis without public disclosure of revenue figures.
