Shirdi Sai Electricals Limited (SSEL), a transformer manufacturer based in Kadapa (a city in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh), has dispatched its first extra-high voltage power transformer to the United States — a 175 MVA, 345 kV unit built at its Naini facility in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The company's CEO described the shipment as a milestone in its international expansion, with SSEL targeting between ₹500 crore and ₹600 crore in exports over the next 12 to 18 months from the same plant. The firm also said it is seeking regulatory approvals to enter European markets for both power and distribution transformers, positioning itself to capitalise on rising global demand driven by grid expansion and renewable energy integration.
