FOR
URBAN INDIA

3. URBANISATION IN INDIA – AT A GLANCE
In India, urbanisation was caused after independence, due to adoption of mixed system of economy.
In recent century, urbanisation is taking place at a faster rate.

5. ELECTRIFICATION TO URBAN INDIA
In urban areas, the access to electricity is 93.1%
In rural areas, the access to electricity is 52.5%

6. ELECTRIFICATION TO URBAN INDIA
In the peak power requirement, there is a huge gap between electrical energy requirement & supply, over national grid.
As a consensus decision, demand of urban India is catered on priority.

9. Urban India experiences repeated short power cuts
TYPICAL POWER SITUATION IN URBAN INDIA
Urban India experiences repeated short power cuts

10. Repeated short power-cut
TYPICAL APPLICATION SCENARIOS
Repeated short power-cut
High power electrical gadgets for urban application
Intelligent power solution, which is capable –
To deliver instantaneous high power
