The Board of Directors of Schneider Electric Infrastructure Limited considered and approved increasing the production capacity of vacuum interrupters and vacuum circuit breakers by establishing a manufacturing facility in Kolkata, subject to the necessary approvals, as may be required.
Approximately 90% of the 80k MV Vacuum Interrupters’ available capacity is being used.
At a cost of Rs. 138 crore, which will be paid over a three-year period, the capacity will be boosted by 180k assembly lines for MV vacuum interrupters and MV vacuum circuit breakers. Internal accruals or borrowings will be used to pay for the project.
