1. Executive Overview

Powerica Limited, incorporated in 1984, is an integrated power solutions company operating in generator manufacturing and renewable energy. It has two key divisions—Generator Set Business (diesel generators and large generators) and Wind Power Business (power generation and EPC services). The company provides end-to-end solutions, from manufacturing to project execution.

Powerica has a strong operational presence with manufacturing units in Bengaluru, Silvassa, and Khopoli, along with 12 wind power projects in Gujarat with a total capacity of ~331 MW. Its competitive strength comes from long-term partnerships with companies like Cummins India Limited, GE Vernova, and Vestas, along with stable power contracts from utilities like Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited and Solar Energy Corporation of India, ensuring strong market positioning.
