What CIMCON Software does

CIMCON Software (India) Pvt. Ltd., founded in 1988 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, is an industrial automation company that designs, manufactures, and deploys IoT-enabled solutions for critical infrastructure across three primary verticals: water utilities, smart lighting, and oil & gas. Its technology stack spans rugged field hardware (Remote Terminal Units, PLCs, the PLC 9000, Networked Lighting Controllers, the Velona ultrasonic AMR smart meter, and ATEX-certified vibration sensors) integrated with SCADA platforms, a Digital Twin layer, and AI/ML analytics for anomaly detection, demand forecasting, and predictive maintenance. The company manufactures domestically in Ahmedabad, aligning with India's Atma Nirbhar procurement preference, and holds ISO 9001 certification.

The company generates revenue through four streams: (1) hardware sales of RTUs, PLCs, smart meters, and instruments; (2) subscription and recurring software revenue from SCADA platforms, cloud monitoring, and AI analytics; (3) turnkey project implementation including design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning; and (4) long-term managed Operations & Maintenance services, exemplified by a contract automating 2,900+ tubewells in Uttar Pradesh. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales targeting government water boards, municipal corporations, smart city missions, and national oil companies, supplemented by channel partnerships with EPCs and system integrators such as L&T and Citelum India.

Customer concentration sits in government and public-sector procurement in India, with additional deployments for international oil & gas majors including Saudi Aramco and SABIC. The company reports deployments across 29 countries, 1.2 million+ streetlight controllers, and customer outcomes reaching 52.8 million people with safe drinking water access. Recent strategic activity includes a Rs 52 crore growth capital round from Niveshaay in October 2025 (the first disclosed institutional investment), a doubling of FY2024 revenue, a new Eastern India office in Kolkata, and the launch of AI-native products including the VIBit-BP ATEX vibration monitor and a Digital Twin Platform.
