Best Power Equipment, a market leader with over two decades of experience, offers a range of power management solutions, including uninterruptible power supplies, smart racks, and software. They distribute their products to OEMs and sell over 60,000 UPS products monthly in India and other countries. BPE founder and Group Managing Director Amitanshu Satpathy discussed the company’s market potential and its journey in the segment during an interactive session with correspondent Sanjiv Jasrotia.
How is Best Power Equipment contributing to the energy sector ?
This is an excellent time to expand, as the UPS market in India is rapidly expanding. In order to keep up with the current rate of industrial growth in India, an uninterrupted power supply is essential. Modern UPS devices can provide uninterruptible power supply to any industry while also preventing voltage fluctuations that cause operational disruptions and damage to various machinery functions.
BPE not only manufactures robust UPS solutions, but we also believe in making a positive impact on society by designing environmentally friendly and sustainable power solutions. In this age of digitization, where technology is changing on a daily basis, it is critical to invest in research and development. BPE has launched a variety of products and solutions in its quest to be the best power solution for multiple industries.
In a country like India, the growing gap between supply and demand causes frequent load shedding, electricity crises, and power outages. While IT and ITeS-based industries have the highest demand, the digital revolution has increased demand for uninterrupted power supply from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as well.
Furthermore, following COVID-19, the demand for uninterrupted power has skyrocketed for a variety of reasons. As a result, the reliance on UPS will continue to grow. According to industry reports, the UPS market in India is expected to grow at an 8.20% CAGR between 2022 and 2030.
Our top priority is to provide the highest quality products and the best solution for our clients. We intend to align with Industry 4.0 and embrace innovative solutions capable of serving all clients at competitive costs.
