The company, characterized by its commitment to emerging markets, entered the Indian photovoltaic solar sector in 2013, with a central office in Delhi; and in 2018, it became one of the first global industrial groups to invest in the then nascent wind sector of India, with its new factory in Chennai. This initial commitment has allowed it to consolidate itself as the leading provider of wind power converters in the country.
