Saft is launching the Saft Urja brand as the new name for its products manufactured and sold from its subsidiary in India. 

 

Saft India is gearing up to introduce new products for maintenance-free industrial applications and off-grid solar applications, showing its commitment to sustainability through innovative approaches and reliable renewable energy. 

 

Franck Cecchi, Executive Vice President for Saft’s Industrial Standby business said, “India is strategically important and exciting for Saft. India benefits from a high potential fast-growing battery market, with average annual estimated growth of 9% in the coming five years.” 

 

Arindam Majumdar, Chief Executive Officer, Saft India said, “We are confident for the future. Urja means energy in Sanskrit, so by branding our products under the name of Saft Urja, we are reflecting the spirit of the country and showing Saft’s positive energy.” 

 

To leverage on the “Make in India” program driven by the Indian Government, Saft India is extending the production capacity by 20% at its factory in Bangalore. 

 

Saft India is a trusted manufacturer of nickel technology battery systems for industrial power backup, utilities, oil and gas, railways and metro operators in India. Many of those batteries operate in difficult and demanding conditions, for example, at subzero temperatures in the Himalayas (Leh, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir), in hot climates of the Thar and Kutch deserts and in hot and humid conditions of the western and eastern coasts.
