Evans Electric poised to expand

Evans Electric is now poised to foray into several areas of untapped potential. It believes that the opportunities that lay ahead with the changes that are occurring in the industrial scenario are boundless.

Soon after gaining Independence in 1947, India was swept by a wave of National Industrialisation. The newly formed government took on the massive task of building a free India with the determination to build everything Indian. Many of the established British companies gradually closed their doors, some handed over their operations to Indian management.

This resulted in a niche market being created in the Servicing and Repairing of Electrical equipment that was largely used in every Industrial establishment across the country. The opportunities this development presented was fast growing and came with a high demand rate.

It was in those early days that an Indian entrepreneur Armando F. de Souza and a British Electrical Engineer Silus L. Evans drawn together by a chance meeting in Bombay resulted several months later in December of 1951, in the founding of India’s first and one the country’s most iconic electro-mechanical engineering companies, Evans Electric Pvt Ltd.

The company’s primary line of business was the repairing and rewinding of electric motors, generators and transformers. Diagnostics and problem solving also formed a major part of the service they provided.

In the 67 years of its existence, the company has grown from humble beginnings to become a brand of its own, with national and international recognition for a list of achievements many of which are an envy to leading electrical engineering companies across the globe.
The early years brought to light the high level of technical expertise, the capability of the company and its ability to perform repair, rewind and complex component redesign and replacement services on equipment that was all imported being manufactured in different parts of the world. This was due to the fact that all industrial electrical equipment in use at that time was imported into India, as there was no local manufacturing of electrical machinery.

Evans Electric very soon became a household name in factories and industrial establishments all over the country. No electrical machine was too small! Too big! Or too complicated! Their ability to accomplish rewinding and reconnecting complex winding circuits or re-designing alternative functional windings was and remains an industry leading feature.

On the rewinding of large turbo, hydro, gas and nuclear power generators, Evans Electric is nationally and internationally recognised for its total capability on the repair and rewinding of large generator stators and rotors. The company is one of the leaders in India in successfully rewinding Turbo Generator rotors, the largest being 250 MW in capacity.
