Nestled in the pink city of Jaipur, Uttam Bharat came into existence as a partnership firm under the dynamic leadership of the Late Shri Purshottam Agrawal. Because of Mr Agrawal’s unwavering commitment and ambition to make “UTTAM” a product known for excellence and reach open skies, the company, which began as a partnership firm for servicing transformers, bloomed into one of the top corporations in India’s transformer industry.

His dedication and determination led this modest factory to blossom into one of the top corporations, operating from three manufacturing units which have an annual capacity of more than 1500 MVA per annum. Despite fluctuations in business, they kept expanding. Eventually, they reached a group turnover of over $150 million annually, with a population of over 2,30,000 transformers and a total manufacturing area of over 100,000 square feet.

“The secret to success in our business now, after more than 39 years, lies in upholding high standards of quality, timely aftersale support, and prompt remedial and corrective action based on customer feedback” , apprised the visionary leader Tanmay Agrawal, Vice President of Uttam Bharat.

Changing Dynamics of Power Distribution in India

India’s power and distribution transformer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.56% between 2022 and 2027. The transformer market had been significantly damaged by the COVID-19 outbreak. The financial stability of electricity distribution firms has been impacted by the strict measures implemented during the pandemic. Small and mediumsized manufacturers, who are having trouble managing their operational and financial bases, make up most of this industry. Several operations were stopped as a result.

The Indian distribution transformer market, however, is anticipated to be driven by elements including rising industrial energy demands, growth in the renewable energy sector, and the construction of transmission and distribution networks. Initiatives like the Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), Saubhagya, AG schemes, RDSS, etc., contributed to raising the operational effectiveness of the discom in the country and improving the electrification rate in both the urban and rural sectors. Hence, it can be said that India’s T&D industry will experience rapid expansion due to the rise in demand for reliable, reasonably priced power that is available around the clock and the development of India’s transmission network.

Power distribution sector issues and solutions Rural areas are the main locations where transformer failure occurs, mostly because of poor installation and maintenance, severe overload, by-passing of safety systems, theft of oil and live parts, and inadequate earthing, among other things. The problem can only be solved at the utility level, where they should enhance the upkeep practises and look into the cause.

Technology Landmarks that Give Uttam Bharat an Edge

Transformers are the static machine that plays a significant role in the country’s power infrastructure. The future growth potential for the power and distribution sector is positive. Digitalisation will make it easier and more effective to access real-time information systems and remote management. Additionally, digitisation will increase industry openness and reduce theft. Managers can discover ill transformers thanks to real-time monitoring, which also aids in crisis control and prevention. The government’s increased emphasis on digitalising the lines would foster the improvement of the infrastructure, which is urgently required for this sector. With the advent of new technology, the progression of new energy efficiency levels and strict quality checks, they are expecting a good turnaround for the company and the industry as a whole.

Corporate Ethos

At Uttam, they believe ‘Quality is never by accident; it is always the result of high intention and sincere efforts.’ They have always focused on quality, customer centricity, product reliability, and sales support: One of the main reasons for their success has been a focus on acceptance of new technology and adaptability to changing environments.

“We give emphasis greatly to the value system and culture. We put our customers and our employees at the forefront. One of the core competencies of our company is customer-centricity and continuous improvement. We deliver customer delight and trust through innovative, hassle-free and high-quality experiences so that our customers may focus on their business,” shared Mr Tanmay Agrawal.

The Plan and the Roadmap for the Days Ahead

The company aims to strengthen its position in the international market and establish itself as a major player by taking into account China plus 1 and Europe plus 1. They primarily target the United States, Canada, Africa, and a few regions of Europe. In India, along with retail projects, they are strongly trying to target large corporates in varied sectors, including data centres, telecom, food processing, and various other manufacturing sectors. Positioning itself among major conglomerates has been made possible by their superior products and after-sales support. The overall supply base of more than 22,000 commercial households attests to the Uttam Bharat steadfast position on the domestic and international markets.

Environment Welfare Initiatives by Uttam Bharat

As part of their commitment to giving back to the environment, the management team at Uttam Bharat decided to plant 1 tree for every transformer supplied in 2022 (#Your Purchase Plants, #One forOne). To kickstart this initiative, they have already planted more than 1000 trees at Central Park in Jaipur. They will be issuing a certificate to every customer as gratitude for supporting the initiative.
