their company policy. For UPSs sales of these companies :

Hitachi Hi-Rel Power Electronics Pvt. Ltd. Gandhi Nagar, Gujarat

considering the average industry growth to be around 6.27%. Company's
tagline is to save the bottom line. For the first time the company
crossed the turnover of 100 crores and that to without compromising on
margins speaks volumes about the the quality and acceptance of their
product.
Next in the league are the Bangalore based Techser Power Solutions
Pvt. Ltd. They were crowned SD's No. 8 Power Electronic Company of the
year. The company slipped by one rank over previous year. Company's
growth dipped by over 7.0% has been due to the increased competition and
non completion of orders in hand, No wonders, if company ends up even
higher in the top 10 rankings chart in the coming years, Signals to this
effect are already visible. The company netted total revenues of 90.01
crore up from 97.21 crore it had in 2015-16. Of the total revenues of
97.21 crores 83.77 crore came thru sale of online UPS, which makes it
the SD's No. 5 Online UPS Manufacturer of the year 2016-17.
Next are the Hykon India Pvt. Ltd., A Thrissur, Kerala based company

manage only 87.84 crore as against 102.89 it nettet last year, a huge

entered the SD's Top 10 Club. Hykon are also the SD's No.3
Line-interactive UPS Company of the year with 19.36 Crore being
generated thru line interactive sales. We are witnessing a steady
growth, year after year in Hykon, last year was a slip as we missed a
few contracts very narrowly. This year we are confident of bouncing back
laments Mr. Christo George, MD, Hykon.
Last on list were the Delhi based Uniline Energy Systems netted a
turn over of 73.23 crore in 2016-17. The company was crowned SD's No. 10
Power Electronic Company of the year.
Conclusion: The 2016-17 can be termed as a relatively flat
year for the SD's Top 10 UPS Companies. Some of the UPS companies grew
well above the industry average while other failed to achieve what they
had last year, at a time when margins are squeezed. Volume wise there is
increase in sales of almost 16.0%. In all 313 companies responded, while
only 178 companies ware rated. Softdisk believes slowdown has taken the
rosy freshness out of the business, but with GST implemented and Modi
Govt. at the centre and lots of FDI already promised, it is going to be
good times ahead post UP election.
These rankings are limited to the companies responding to our survey
and data provided by them.
