Diesel generator (DG set) manufacturers in India

Diesel generators remain the standard backup for Indian factories, hospitals, offices and housing societies. Since 2023, new sets must meet the CPCB IV+ emission norms. The companies below make DG sets, and in some cases gas gensets, for the Indian market.

From Ingro · Our own product

Run it all as one plant with Ingro EMS

A generator running at 30 percent load burns fuel for little output. Ingro EMS works the battery and solar alongside the DG sets so they run fewer hours and at a more efficient load, and it reads the DG controller to log fuel and runtime.

Ingro EMS is a made-in-India battery energy management system: one controller on site that runs battery storage, solar, diesel and the grid against your tariff, with a console and reports you can watch on a screen or your phone. It talks to equipment over open protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN, IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-5-104, so it is not tied to any one brand on this list.

The emission standard set by the Central Pollution Control Board that applies to new diesel gensets up to 800 kW sold from July 2023. It sharply cuts NOx and particulate emissions compared with the earlier CPCB II norms.

Often partly. A battery can cover short outages and peak loads so the DG runs less, and for many sites it covers most outages entirely. Long outages usually still need a generator.
