CG Power and Industrial Solutions Limited has commissioned its extra high-voltage switchgear manufacturing facility S3 Unit-II in Pimpalgaon Garudeshwar, Nashik, Maharashtra. The facility was inaugurated and commenced commercial production on June 4, 2026.
The new facility will manufacture EHV circuit breakers in the 33kV to 245kV range, adding 7,200 units of annual capacity. This expands CG Power's EHV circuit breaker capacity by 80% over the existing 9,000-unit S3 Unit-I facility, which had operated at approximately 85% utilisation and manufactures breakers from 33kV to 800kV. The new unit includes 500kV and 350kV high-voltage testing laboratories.
The capacity addition follows CG Power's announcement on October 29, 2025, regarding a greenfield switchgear business in Western India. The broader project carries an estimated cost of Rs 748.20 crore and covers medium-voltage and extra high-voltage switchgear, substation automation systems, and power electronics solutions. The facility is planned on approximately 35 acres with 72,000 sq metres of built-up area and is expected to be completed within 33 months.
The board cited huge demand and capacity constraints at the existing unit as the rationale for the expansion. The investment in S3 Unit-II amounts to Rs 39.49 crore, funded through internal accruals. CG Power expects 97% of the capex incurred for this facility to be utilised toward the larger greenfield project.
The facility will serve utilities, railways, renewable energy, oil and gas, and transmission infrastructure projects. CG Power also expects the expanded capacity to support its growing export business. CG Power's consolidated revenue for FY26 stood at Rs 12,418 crore.
