INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

A VALUE OFFERING AIMED TO IMPROVE SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC IT BUSINESS’S MARKET PRESENCE IN THE CRITICAL POWER INDUSTRY

 

India, June 5, 2013 — Schneider Electric IT Business today announced the launch of  the 3-Phase Galaxy 300, a value offering optimally priced to suit the needs of sectors like healthcare, retail, infrastructure, banking, manufacturing, power apart from other conventional sectors like IT & Telecom. The product comes with India for India features like Heavy Duty Charger with four hours plus runtime and up to 30 mins of integrated battery; it is dust proof to avoid increased risk of failure in dust prone environments and hassimplified parallel mode of UPS allowing uninterrupted supply of power in case of failure of one UPS.

 

With the economic conditions improving, India should see a slew of investments as well as strong growth in the manufacturing, retail, banking and IT sectors. The demand supply gap for power still exists and additionally, poor power transmission and distribution infrastructure leads to major challenges for customers who cannot afford downtime of their processes, manufacturing and IT systems. Thus, corporates are likely to continue to invest in critical power systems. The Galaxy 300’s India for India features have been designed keeping in mind the growing critical power market, especially with industries expanding in Tier II & III cities.

 

The new Galaxy 300 is simple and reliable. It comes with advanced dust filters and Conformal coating to protect the UPS from harsh environments as faced in major parts of the country. It has also been designed with high battery run time keeping in mind the frequent power failures.

 

One other key feature of the products is the compact size. UPS comes with integrated battery offer that allows customers to install 3rdparty batteries inside the UPS Cabinet, thus allowing a safe and compact installation.

 

The New Galaxy 300 is also available in 1 phase output to meet the Light industrial requirements.

 

The UPS also comes with other features like:

·         High efficiency

·         Compact size UPS with inbuilt batteries

·         Double conversion online for maximum protection

·         Multi-language display, installation wizard and mimic diagrams for easy operation

·         Full maintenance bypass integrated

·         Highly Serviceable

 

According to Jayabalan Velayudhan, Director Strategy and Business Development; Schneider Electric IT Business, “The market for 3-Phase 10-40KVA UPS in India is anticipated to grow at the rate of 8-10% per annum. This is a unique opportunity for Schneider Electric to introduce the new version of Galaxy 300 which offers reliable power protection and a robust and easy-to-install system at the best price-to-performance ratio. We are confident that with the launch of Galaxy 300, we will be able to capture the 3-Phase UPS marketspecifically for general purpose applications.”

 

The Galaxy 300 is the easiest UPS in its class to install, manage, and maintain.  The product is aimed at electrical contractors and facility managers who do not have specialized knowledge in UPS installation and are end-customer influencers. Schneider Electric IT Business’s strategy for this product is therefore to address electrical contractors through the Electrical Distributors Channel who offer a ‘one stop-shop ’for customers looking for complete electrical supplies from a single distributor. The product is also available in single Phase output more suitable for control and automation market. It includes a one year physical warranty with extended warranty options.

 

 

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC IT BUSINESS INTRODUCES THE NEW SMARTUPS ONLINE

 

Added 29th Jul 2013

 

Team CIO

 

Schneider Electric IT Business India, today introduced its Double Conversion Online Smart UPS SRC2KUXI (2KVA) and  SRC3KUXI (3KVA) UPS Models, developed specifically for harsh power conditions in India. According to the company, these double-conversion UPS expand APC by Schneider Electric's award-winning Smart-UPS On-Line product line, offering novel features such as Green Mode, Remote management, Generator compatibility and Parallel redundancy amongst others, because of which the UPS helps save approximately  Rs.4000-6000 a year on electricity bills.

 

The company claims the new SmartUPS ensures availability, manageability and adaptability for any installation need. Usually the maximum impact of the increasing power deficit is borne by organizations in Tier II and III cities, especially the Small and Medium enterprises. These emerging enterprises are often plagued by unpredictable power disturbances like spikes, surges and black outs. They are increasingly opting for solutions that will not only ensure smooth running of their critical facilities and server rooms during long power outages, but also be energy efficient to reduce energy costs.

 

 

Adaptability

 

The Smart UPS is compatible to a wide range of generators, it also ensures tight voltage & frequency regulation, zero transfer time for reactive loads, longer battery backup and extended run capability making it an ideal solution for the harsh environments of Tier II & III cities. The Smart UPS units are also easily adaptable to any space thanks to the optional tower mounting and rack mounting configuration

 

 

Availability

 

The Smart UPS comes with Long battery backup and a 1000 W in-built charger that re-charges batteries in no time. This ensures additional runtime with uninterrupted power load. The self-powered bypass ensures seamless power to the load and allows UPS to be switched on even when batteries are not connected. Additionally, the capability to parallel two units for redundancy ensures better availability.

 

 

Manageability

 

Today the IT Managers are looking at options that allow them to remotely manage their critical facilities or server rooms without actually being present on the site at all times. The new SmartUPS range comes with Smart Slot, which allows users to opt for a Network Management Card or a GSM Card. The GSM remote monitoring card, another first in the market from APC by Schneider Electric, allows the user to easily monitor all parameters of the UPS’ health and its environment by SMS. Alternatively, one may use the PowerChute Business Edition UPS management software and a Network Management Card for monitoring the UPS on the Network.

 

Speaking about the launch M Gurudutt, Director Channel Business, Schneider Electric IT Business, said “We have always endeavored to meet the growing needs of the customer and the new SmartUPS Online 2kVA and 3kVA range is a step in that direction. Backed by strong R&D support, global leadership in technology and a deep understanding of the Indian market, the revolutionary SmartUPS comes packed with high end features. We are highly optimistic that with this launch we will be able to cater to a wider segment of the audience, specially the budding enterprises in Tier II and III markets.”

 

The primary advantage of this UPS is the Best in class output efficiency of >90% at full load, which can be further augmented by the Green Mode feature to provide an efficiency of up to 97%

 

Other features of the new Smart UPS units include:

 

-          Compatible with both SMF and Tubular battery

-          Parallel redundancy option

-          Green Mode for higher energy savings.

-          Graphical LCD for better user diagnostics.

-          No need for Isolation Transformer
