Enhancing Competencies for Growth: Focussing on Scaling up our Strengths

With our execution capabilities playing such a critical role in the expansion and sustainable growth of the TTL business, we are proactively focussing on scaling up the strengths that contribute to our execution prowess. These include our Research & Development (R&D) capabilities, capacity, engineering excellence and people capabilities, among others.

During FY 23, we made significant investments in the development of new capabilities and enhancement of the existing ones, to propel our future-readiness.

Expanding capacities

Our capacity expansion efforts span the entire range of our manufacturing strength – from infrastructure to resources to capabilities. TTL is one of the few industrial steam turbine manufacturing companies that has in-house capability for complete manufacturing of critical components such as blades, rotors and casings. With the addition of a new bay in the Sompura unit, we have augmented the capacity for assembly and testing of steam turbines, from 150-180 machines to 250‑300 machines per annum.

To meet the Aftermarket requirements, we have implemented new processes and tools, such as LASER hardening on blade edges, high alloy steels etc., at our units. We have also enhanced our execution speed in refurbishment by implementing 3D printing instead of physical machining of prototype from steel material for verification of fitment of blade roots on to the existing old rotors.

The acquisition of 70% stake in TSE Engineering (Pty.) Ltd. (TSE) in South Africa in FY 22 not only brought us closer to the customer base in the SADC region but enhanced our manufacturing capacity through facility addition in South Africa.

Green Manufacturing Facilities: Ensuring Quality and Sustainability

Our manufacturing facilities at Peenya and Sompura in Bengaluru follow stringent quality compliances and the highest standards of occupational health and safety. Both our facilities are designed as green factories, integrating environmentally friendly practices into our operations. With an installed rooftop solar power capacity of 1,300 kW, we will generate clean and renewable energy on-site. The net metering facility allows us to efficiently manage our power consumption and contribute to reducing our carbon footprint.

Adding competencies

Besides adequate capacity to manufacture IP-sensitive equipment, TTL has also a set of qualified vendors and sub-contractors to assist in the overall product development. Even as we continue to expand our in-house manufacturing capacities, we are also continuously endeavouring to augment our competencies in order to effectively service the growing demand for efficient and high-quality turbines. We are outsourcing the manufacturing of some of the sub-assemblies to competent subcontractors, to free up our in-house capacity for value-added, core activities.

Augmenting R&D strength

We are continually investing in the enhancement of our Research & Development (R&D) capabilities to innovate products and solutions that match the customer need for more energy-efficient products. As part of our sustainable growth agenda, our investments in R&D are centred around alternate energy solutions. Our R&D facility is manned by an expert team and approved by Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR), Government of India. We have strong associations with globally-renowned research institutes in the areas of fluid dynamics, aerodynamics. These associations contribute significantly towards advancing our energy conversion efficiency benchmarks.

Enhancing people capabilities

Skilled and qualified professional people are central to our future growth strategy, and we have scaled up our focus on adding people competencies both in India and the international market. Our efforts are aimed at upskilling and reskilling of the workforce, especially in the sales and marketing function. We have our own engineers to innovate new products, in addition to a network of trained service personnel in different markets, working under the supervision of Triveni personnel. TTL grew its workforce by ~20% in FY 23.

Fostering Motivation and Excellence: Empowering Our People for Success

We continue to work towards motivating our people to drive greater proficiencies in the teams, improve productivity, and ensure the highest levels of quality in all our products and solutions.

Investing in Precision Engineering Excellence for Global Success

We prioritise sustained investments in high-value precision engineering to develop energy-efficient equipment. This enables us to meet diverse customer needs across sectors and geographies while ensuring efficient delivery. These investments have positioned TTL as a preferred partner for a growing global clientele, strengthening our brand equity.
