Su-Kam eyes products for new verticals

Su-Kam, the leader in the power back-up industry with products like invertors and online UPS systems, is planning to move away from traditional invertors to tailor-made power back-up products for other industries like telecom, internet and media.

With more tailor-made and diversified products, the company aims to touch a turnover of Rs 5,000 crore in four years, from a turnover of Rs 600 crore at present.

According to Kanware Sachdev, CEO of Su-Kam, "Traditionally power back-up products would be used in homes which have to put up with a lot of power cuts regularly. But with the growing economy, power cuts in homes is coming down and may soon become extinct. We are therefore looking at selling other products to address the power back-up needs of industries like telecom, internet and media."

The company is looking at venturing into manufacturing products like mobile chargers.

It is planning to manufacture power back-up products for telecom towers.

It also plans to introduce high-end technology products for telcom service providers.

Su-Kam is making fresh investment of Rs 250 crore for setting up a plant in Himachal Pradesh where the company plans to manufacture 2V cell batteries for telecom companies.

Currently, Su-Kam has four manufacturing units in Himachal Pradesh and two in Gurgaon.

With the growing energy needs and rising concerns about the environment, Su-Kam also plans to focus on renewable energy while developing products.

Su-Kam's products include Solar Inverter (800VA-100KVA) , Solar Charge controllers, Solar PUC and Grid interactive solar inverter. Su-Kam has also developed a monitoring software for its solar charge controllers.

The software allows consumers to monitor all the system parameters such as PV voltage, battery voltage and charging current over a selectable period of time.
