In an interview with Business Line, Subir Pal, head of Country Business Development and Marketing at ABB India, spoke about the new opportunities and challenges for the power and equipment company in the country.

Pal stated the company hopes 2014 will be better than 2013 in terms of stability. Apart from technological innovations that ABB has carried out in India so far, the company plans to launch new products from their manufacturing plants.

Pal said, “We are constantly churning out new products from our manufacturing plants in India. We plan to manufacture GIS (gas insulated switchgear) of up to 400 kV, which are huge space-savers. We are also going to make dry type transformers, which are normally used in data centres as they are safer, especially in buildings, compared with oil cooled transformers. Dry type transformers are more expensive but are preferred more.”
