What Crompton Greaves does

CG Power and Industrial Solutions Limited is a Mumbai-headquartered, publicly listed Indian engineering company (BSE/NSE: CGPOWER) operating across power systems, industrial systems, railways, and semiconductors. Founded in 1937 and owned 56% by Tube Investments of India (Murugappa Group) since a 2020 Swiss-auction acquisition, the company manufactures transformers (power, distribution, generator, locomotive), high/extra-high-voltage switchgears up to 800 kV, a full range of industrial motors (FHP, LT, hazardous-area), drives and automation (VFDs, soft starters, modular converters) under its Emotron sub-brand, railway signalling and traction products, and consumer appliances (fans, coolers, pumps, geysers) under the Crompton brand. The company's technology backbone includes an R&D division established in 1977, proprietary IE3/IE4 NEXORA and AXELERA motor platforms, natural-ester bio-transformers up to 132 kV, and SF6-free EHV switchgear architecture. Through the CG Semi JV with Renesas Electronics and Stars Microelectronics, it operates India's first commercial end-to-end OSAT facility in Sanand, Gujarat (commercial production commenced July 2026 with 300 million units/year peak capacity), with a wholly-owned Axiro subsidiary pursuing semiconductor design and AI-adjacent investments.

The company derives revenue through B2B project-based hardware sales to utilities, railways, data centre operators, and industrial customers across 25+ sectors, plus retail-channel consumer products. FY2026 consolidated revenue was Rs 12,418 crore (~$1.30B), up 21% YoY, with Power Systems as the largest segment (46% YoY growth), Industrial Systems growing mid-single digits, and a record Rs 17,574 crore order intake (+30%) and Rs 15,719 crore unexecuted order book (+59% YoY) providing multi-year visibility. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large infrastructure (e.g., Rs 900 crore US data centre transformer order via Tallgrass, Rs 433.34 crore KAVACH order from Chittaranjan Locomotive Works), distributor/channel networks for industrial components, retail and e-commerce for Crompton consumer products, and government railway tenders. Geographic reach includes India (primary), historical European operations (Belgium, Hungary, Ireland, France, UK) and selectively resumed US/Middle East/Brazil exports, with management targeting 25% of Power Systems order inflows from exports by FY29F.
