POLLUTION EQUIPMENT & CONTROLS

What POLLUTION EQUIPMENT & CONTROLS does

Pollution Equipment & Controls (PEC) is a privately held Indian distributor and turnkey integrator of environmental monitoring equipment, established in 1986 and headquartered in Janakpuri, New Delhi. The company operates a 5-person team that supplies, installs, commissions, and supports specialized scientific instruments sourced from more than 20 international OEMs across four monitoring domains: meteorology (upper-air sounding systems, automatic weather stations, balloons, hydrogen generators), atmospheric profiling (Doppler weather radars from EEC, Sodar from REMTECH, lidar from Raymetrics and Droplet Measurement, microwave radiometers from Radiometrics, lightning detection from nowcast, aerosol/sunphotometer instruments from CIMEL), hydrology (KISTERS radar water-level sensors, rain gauges, current meters, groundwater loggers), and acoustic measurement (Cirrus Research sound level meters, doseBadge noise dosimeters, vibration meters). Its aviation-safety line includes the DeTect MERLIN bird-strike avoidance radar.

PEC serves government meteorological agencies (India Meteorological Department), space and defense research organizations (ISRO, Indian Air Force, Indian Navy, BARC, Department of Atomic Energy), central and state pollution control boards, leading academic institutions (IIT Delhi, Delhi University, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, ICAR), and major industrial groups (Hindalco, SAIL, BHEL, NTPC, NHPC, IOCL, Saint-Gobain). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales: a consultative, project-based motion in which PEC scopes, configures, supplies, and commissions multi-instrument solutions for institutional buyers through government procurement processes and direct engagement with research and HSE teams. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware distribution (one-time capital sales of imported instruments) supplemented by professional services for system design, installation, commissioning, and training. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project based on configuration, OEM brand, and scope of supply. PEC operates as part of a small group that includes AMSH Product Line Private Limited, is privately owned by its founding professionals, and has not raised external capital.
