Thane-Based Telawne Power Equipments Illuminates Ram Mandir
The spiritual and infrastructural heart of India — Ram Mandir now glows with a powerful connection to Thane. The illumination of this iconic temple has been made possible in part by the reliable transformers from Telawne Power Equipments, a proud Thane-based company playing a pivotal role in this sacred endeavour.
Founded by Sudhakar Telawne, the company began its journey in transformer repair. With the advent of the next generation, Telawne Power Equipments evolved into a full-fledged manufacturer of power transformers. Today, under the dynamic leadership of Rakesh Telawne, the company has expanded its footprint to over 60 countries, making it one of India’s leading transformer manufacturing companies.
One of the few Indian firms to be UL-certified—a prestigious safety and quality standard awarded by the United States—Telawne stands out in a competitive global market. The company employs more than 300 skilled workers, boasts a turnover of ₹250+ crores, and manufactures 50 transformers monthly, each with a capacity range up to 150 MVA, 230 kV.
With a client base exceeding 1,000 entities across diverse sectors such as residential societies, malls, industrial units, warehouses, and commercial complexes, renewable generation, solar park, etc., Telawne has become a name synonymous with reliable energy solutions.
Among these are Amazon Data Centres and NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation) — both of which rely on Telawne’s advanced and robust transformer solutions to power their critical operations. These associations reflect not just scale, but also the trust in quality, reliability, and innovation that Telawne has built over decades.
“The consumption of power is increasing exponentially. Our sector has a bright future. Our success formula is simple — we provide customised solutions and adopt the best available technology,” says Rakesh Telawne, a key figure in the company’s current leadership.
Engineering India’s Future
Rakesh Telawne emphasises the importance of engineering excellence and long-term thinking in nation-building.
India has immense potential. Entrepreneurs must invest in sound manufacturing models and engineering marvels. While IT advancements are crucial, they should be complemented with robust engineering. Look at China – their manufacturing process is a result of this very synergy,” he notes.
He advocates for a long-term vision in infrastructure, economy, and institutional development, underscoring the role of manufacturing in India’s future growth story.
Expanding Presence
Telawne Power Equipments operates out of key locations like Rabale, Ambernath, and Taloja, with an overseas presence in the United States as well. Their commitment to innovation, quality, and adaptability continues to drive their success in a power-hungry world.
As India strides toward becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse, stories like that of Telawne Power Equipments shine a light — quite literally — on the transformative role homegrown companies can play in energising both heritage and progress. Telawne Power Equipments is also slated to bring its expertise to various other key infrastructure projects, including Lighting Up Navi Mumbai Airport, ensuring they are illuminated in the most effective and aesthetically pleasing way.
