Atlanta Electricals has secured multiple power transformer supply contracts, valued at ₹2.88 billion (~$31.56 million), from Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation (KPTCL) and Datta Power Infra, an independent power producer executing projects for NTPC. The contracts are scheduled to be executed over the next 12 months.
Out of the total order value, two orders worth ₹1.46 billion (~$16 million) have been received from KPTCL. These contracts involve the supply of 13 high-capacity power transformers along with associated fire protection systems.
The order includes six units of 100 MVA, 220/110 kV power transformers and seven units of 150 MVA, 220/66 kV power transformers. Atlanta Electricals will also supply 11 nitrogen injection fire protection systems as part of the KPTCL orders.
These systems are designed to enhance transformer safety by preventing fire-related damage and are increasingly mandated in high-capacity transmission installations.
The remaining three orders, totaling ₹1.42 billion (~$15.56 million), have been awarded by Datta Power Infra. These projects are located in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh.
Under these contracts, Atlanta Electricals will supply 15 power transformers, comprising ten units of 125 MVA, 220 kV power transformers and five units of 100 MVA, 220/33 kV power transformers.
Atlanta Electricals manufactures a broad range of transformers, with capacities ranging from 5 MVA/11 kV to 500 MVA/765 kV. Its portfolio includes power transformers, auto transformers, inverter-duty transformers, furnace transformers, generator transformers, and special-duty transformers, manufactured at its five in Gujarat and Karnataka.
The company has cumulatively supplied over 78,000 MVA capacity and more than 4,000 transformers, with manufacturing capability extending up to 200 MVA in the 220 kV class and an installed capacity of 16,740 MVA in this segment.
The company has developed a product portfolio specifically aligned with renewable energy requirements, manufacturing inverter duty transformers critical for solar photovoltaic plants, wind energy projects, and grid integration of renewable power.
To support growing renewable demand, the company has expanded its total manufacturing capacity to 63,060 MVA, representing nearly a fourfold increase over the past 18 months, enabling higher-volume execution of renewable transformer orders and large utility-scale projects.
Recently, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) directed all state power utilities to strictly follow the ratings prescribed by it while floating tenders for transformers with a minimum voltage class of 66 kV.
Transmission utilities had reported 17 failures of 220 kV and above power transformers between January and June 2025, according to a CEA report. A large number of transformer failure incidents remain unreported, as many state and central transmission utilities and private utilities have failed to share data.
