CG Power and Industrial Solutions has approved capacity expansion and capital expenditure projects across its power transformer, bushing, instrument transformer, extra-high-voltage (EHV) circuit breaker and gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) manufacturing facilities to address rising demand and its growing order pipeline.

The company's Board has approved an investment of INR 68 crore to enhance the manufacturing capacity of its T3 Division power transformer facility by 10,000 MVA. The existing facility is operating at maximum capacity, and the expansion follows a lean initiative that identified scope for increasing production within the existing infrastructure. The project is expected to be completed within 12–15 months, the company stated in a regulatory filing.

Separately, CG Power has approved an investment of approximately INR 300 crore at its S1 Unit in Ambad to expand manufacturing capacity for oil-impregnated paper (OIP) bushings and instrument transformers up to 800 kV by 4,236 equivalent units annually. The project will involve augmentation of manufacturing, assembly, testing and associated infrastructure, with production tentatively expected to commence within 30–36 months, the company stated.

At its S3 Unit-II facility, the company has approved an additional investment of INR 15.31 crore to enhance EHV circuit breaker manufacturing capacity by 3,600 units annually. The capacity addition is expected to be completed within 6–9 months and follows an earlier disclosure dated June 4, 2026.

The Board has also approved an increase in investment for the GIS brownfield project at Vilholi, Nashik, from INR 35.17 crore to INR 44.62 crore, involving an additional INR 9.45 crore. The enhancement primarily covers procurement of an 800 kV high-voltage testing system, along with contingency provisions, to enable testing of 245 kV and 400 kV GIS. Approximately 90 percent of the project assets are expected to be transferred to the Greenfield facility upon its commissioning, the company said.

The company stated that the expansions are intended to address capacity constraints, cater to growing domestic and export demand, and strengthen its manufacturing capabilities across high-voltage equipment segments.
