TAFE Chairman & CEO, Ms. Mallika Srinivasan, speaking at the launch said, “The new TMTL series of silent gensets and engines, equipped with CRDI technology and Isochronous Governing are among the most advanced in India in this range and best suited for powering sensitive equipment that have low tolerance to power fluctuations.” Talking in-depth about the genset industry, Ms. Srinivasan highlighted the opportunities for growth in the medium and high HP range, given the GDP growth in the country, government initiatives in building rural infrastructure, e-governance, the ‘Make in India’ programme and the projected rise in energy consumption consequent to the economic development. She said “TMTL’s dominant position in the Agro sector, market leadership in the telecom sector and opportunities to establish a strong presence in the high HP and Industrial segment, backed by its best in class service, will position TMTL as a strong energy solutions provider with the new series.”
TAFE’s Deputy CEO and industry veteran, Mr. R. C. Banka, talking about the new product said, “The new TMTL series is the result of extensive investments in R&D with inputs from leaders in engine design such as AVL of Austria and offers customers, reliable and trouble free service.” Listing the capabilities of the new series of silent gensets and engines, he said, “With the strong and robust engine, these gensets have the highest block load taking capability, no power deration up to 2000 metres and can run at -10o Celsius without a cold starting aid. With one of the lowest fuel consumptions in the segment and longest service interval, these new gensets are the most economically viable in the market at the moment. He added that, “TMTL is the only genset and engine company to have won awards for the past three consecutive years for its after-sales service from India’s foremost telecom companies, among other service awards.”
TMTL President and TAFE Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Mr. S. Chandramohan said, “With more than 100,000 gensets already in the market, TMTL gensets powered by Eicher Engines and TMTL Engines, offer the lowest cost of operations in their respective class and represent an excellent value proposition to discerning customers requiring dependable high back up power, supported by industry benchmark levels of service to even remote locations through its extensive dealer and service network.”
According to TAFE’s COO - Product Strategy and Corporate Relations, Mr. T. R. Kesavan, the new Engine is emission compliant, meeting stringent norms of the CPCB II, which are more stringent than European norms. These engines are therefore suitable for export to markets in Europe and Africa.
