What SGS Weather does

SGS Weather & Environmental Systems Pvt. Ltd. is a privately-held Indian company that designs, supplies, installs, and maintains turnkey meteorological, atmospheric, hydrological, and environmental monitoring infrastructure. The company's product portfolio spans fixed, portable, and marine-grade Automatic Weather Stations (AWS); Airport Weather Observation Systems (AWOS/DCWIS) with Runway Visual Range and ceilometer subsystems; S/C/X-band Doppler Weather Radars; solar radiation resource assessment (SRRA) stations and an ISO 9847-compliant pyranometer calibration laboratory; real-time urban noise monitoring networks with embedded LED displays; tide gauge and coastal oceanography systems; mobile weather research vehicles; hydrological and water-quality monitoring systems; and atmospheric remote sensing (SODARs, wind profilers, microwave radiometers) sourced via OEM partnerships with Scintec, Radiometer Physics, Vaisala, and Hukseflux.

The company operates a direct enterprise field-sales model targeting government and quasi-government buyers in India, with offices and manufacturing in Gurugram (HQ and IMT Manesar production unit) and a regional sales office in Hyderabad. Its named customer base is concentrated in central government — India Meteorological Department (IMD), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE/MNRE), Indian Navy, and state pollution control boards — as well as airport authorities at major Indian airports. Revenue is generated through turnkey project implementation (professional services), hardware and sensor sales, annual maintenance contracts (recurring), and calibration services. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based; no public price list exists.
