Dear Stakeholders,
I am pleased to present the inaugural annual report highlighting our
key achievements and milestones from the past year. Since our founding in 1994, SPEL has
been a cornerstone of the power industry, renowned for our commitment to quality and
reliability in manufacturing power and distribution transformers.
This year has been especially significant for us: not only did we
release our first annual report, but we also achieved a major milestone by listing on the
NSE Emerge Platform on December 29, 2023. Within just six months of our listing, we

scores our rapid growth, market year marked by significant development and progress.
Moving to the transformers industry the industry experiencing a strong
upward trajectory, driven by increasing demand in sectors such as renewables, green
energy, power, railways, and data centers. As the third-largest producer and consumer of
electricity worldwide, India is witnessing growing demand due to population growth,
electrification, and rising per-capita usage. The strong economic growth and government
initiatives to ensure power for all have significantly bolstered energy demand.
India's ambition to become energy independent by 2047 and achieve
net zero emissions by 2070 emphasizes the need for enhanced renewable energy use. Our
focus aligns with this vision, especially as Indian Railways advances towards high-speed
trains, creating demand for transformers ranging from 66 kV to 132 kV, alongside the
development of freight corridors, metros, and other infrastructure projects. As the
fastest-growing economy, India is set to become the third-largest global economic power,
with 65% of the population under the age of 35 driving an unprecedented increase in energy
demand. This shift scalable energy infrastructure.
