Products & Services
Diesel and natural gas engines, power generation sets (gensets), powertrain components, filtration systems, aftertreatment devices, and turbochargers.
Brand Portfolio
Cummins
New Products/Services
CPCB IV+ compliant engines and gensets launched to meet new emission standards; Data Center specific power solutions are expected to be a major revenue driver.
Market Expansion

Strategic Alliances
Strategic integration with parent Cummins Inc. (USA) and Cummins Ltd (UK) for technology and supply chain synergies.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward higher emission standards (CPCB IV+) and increased demand for reliable power in digital infrastructure (Data Centers).
Competitive Landscape
Competitive intensity in the power generation segment is increasing every quarter, pressuring value propositions.
Competitive Moat
Moat is sustained by a robust service network prepared for complex CPCB IV+ products and strong global parentage providing a technological edge.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
The company is sensitive to manufacturing sector growth, which grew 9.1% recently, and overall GDP growth of 8.2%.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward high-reliability, technologically complex power solutions for infrastructure and data-heavy industries.
Geopolitical Risks
US tariff-related concerns and global trade barriers pose risks to export-oriented units.
