About Powerica Limited

Powerica Limited is an integrated power solutions firm that has been in operation for more than 40 years, starting as a diesel generator (DG) set manufacturer in 1984. It operates through two primary divisions: the generator set business and the wind power business. In addition, Powerica's associate firm, Platino Automotive, creates retrofit emission control devices (RECDs) used to provide comprehensive solutions for reducing emissions from existing DG sets.
The company has three manufacturing plants in Bengaluru, Silvassa and Khopoli, occupying 50,585 sq m, 39,395 sq. m, and 85,570 sq m space respectively. As of September 2025, the capacity usage rate was estimated to be approximately 82% for Bengaluru and approximately 83% for Silvassa.
The DG set business is the main segment of the business's operation. It offers a wide range of generators powered by Cummins engines, with a capacity range from 7.5 kVA to 3,750 kVA, covering the whole range of low to high-horsepower applications. The company has an established (over 40 years) non-exclusive arrangement with Cummins India for the procurement of key elements such as alternators and engines.
Powerica entered the large generator market in 1996 via an alliance with H-D Hyundai Heavy Industries, which manufactured Medium-speed Large Generators (MSLGs) with a capacity of 3,000 kVA to 10,000 kVA that can be operated either individually or in parallel as per customer requirements.
The company began its renewable energy initiatives as an Independent Power Producer (IPP) in 2008, with its first project in Gujarat at a capacity of 4.8 MW and continues to grow with a total of 330.85 MW from 12 wind projects located exclusively in Gujarat. All projects operate under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with GUVNL and SECI for a minimum of 25 years and an average remaining useful life of approximately 18 years, providing consistent and predictable cash flow for a long-term future.
The company has established a solid national presence throughout India with 19 sales offices and 43 authorised dealers, employing 123 persons in sales. Its diverse customer base spans multiple industries, including real estate, healthcare, hospitality, banks, infrastructure, manufacturing, IT/data centres, government and defence. The customer base is very well diversified, with the top 10 customers representing approximately 22.7% of total sales in the DG business, thus reducing the company's dependency on a single customer.
The company is currently building a 52.7 MW wind project (Orchid Phase II) at a tariff of ₹3.81/unit, expected to be operational by March 2027. The company has an extensive list of upcoming projects as well - there are approximately 280 MW of renewable energy projects (both wind and solar) currently planned in Gujarat by Powerica, which has developed EPC capabilities to execute Balance of Plant (BoP) EPC work on wind projects. Since 2012, it has completed over 450.4 MW of total projects, consisting of 254.5 MW of its own projects and 195.9 MW of third-party projects. Currently, the company has 435.6 MW of third-party projects in construction, with an additional 150 MW order already received. In addition to project execution, Powerica also provides O&M services for 296.5 MW of operational renewable energy through 10 projects. In addition to its renewable energy business, its 50% ownership in Platino Automotive places the company in the emissions control business; they produce RECDs for DG sets, with capacities ranging from 125 kVA to 10,000 kVA, for all major manufacturers. RECDs (receivers for emissions control devices) manufactured by Platino are compliant with the ARAI/ICAT certifications.
The booming growth of data centres, which is expected to reach 4.7 GW of capacity by FY30 at a CAGR of ~27.4%, the rapid rollout of EV charging infrastructure, and increased defence and government spending on critical infrastructure are all significant factors driving strong long-term demand for DG sets and MSLGs across LHP, MHP, and HHP segments. On the renewable energy side, India's abundant onshore wind generation potential of 1,164 GW, an aggressive government expectation for the allocation of 10 GW of new onshore wind generation resources annually going forward through SECI and NTPC, a growing trajectory of Renewable Purchase Obligations to achieve 6.94% share of overall new onshore wind generation by FY30, and the emergence of hybrid onshore wind-solar generation solutions are creating a very large policy-backed pipeline for Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and EPC opportunities, especially in Gujarat.
This company aims to take advantage of the increasing demand for DG sets because of data centres, electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, and the reliability of the electrical grid system. As well, they plan to aggressively add to their existing wind energy portfolio with new project awards and active execution of projects already in the pipeline. They are also focusing on hybrid renewable projects to lower costs and improve overall efficiency.
Now, Powerica Limited is launching its initial public offering (IPO), which consists of a fresh issue of ₹700 crore and an offer for sale of ₹400 crore. The total issue size of the IPO is ₹1,100 crore, and its shares will be listed on the NSE and BSE.

The company owns and operates three manufacturing facilities for its DG sets business for strong quality control, supply chain efficiency, and faster time-to-market. They are one of the OEMs for Cummins and have maintained a relationship with them for 4+ decades.

Collaborations with industry players

The company has long-standing alliances with global established leaders like Cummins (40+ years), Hyundai (since 2014), GE Vernova (since 2019), and Vestas (since 2010), etc. Notably, a joint development agreement with GE Vernova is formed to construct and own renewable power projects in India, specifically the 2,000 MW wind-solar hybrid project in Gujarat.

Diversified customer base

The company has long-term PPAs with its customers, which provide strong visibility on stable cash flows. Its principal offtake customers include state electricity boards such as GUVNL and the SECI, which acts as an intermediary power procurer. Of its 12 operational wind power projects with a combined installed capacity of 330.85 MW, 10 projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 228.25 MW have PPAs with GUVNL. Two projects of 102.60 MW have PPAs with SECI.

Strong technical and execution capabilities

The company has built robust in-house engineering capabilities, including CNC fabrication systems, 3D modelling for complex project design, and advanced project lifecycle management for wind power. As of September 30, 2025, the company’s manufacturing, projects, design and engineering team of its generator set business consisted of 467 personnel and 126 personnel in the Wind Power Business.

Healthy wind power operating metrics

The company’s operational wind power projects show impressive performance metrics. For H1FY26, average plant availability was 98.72%, which has been consistently above 98% during FY23 - FY25. For the same time frame, the average plant load factor was 32.84%, compared to 26.78% for FY25; both metrics indicate improved asset utilisation over time.
