Pune: Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited, India’s leading manufacturer of Diesel Gensets welcomes the new CPCB-II norms (Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB-II) norms) for diesel generation sets up to 800 kVA. The company organized a meeting with their channel partners at Pune to discuss the new CPCB-II norms for diesel generation sets up to 800 kVA and to devise a strategy to implement the norms as well as work on the additional demand that could arise in the last quarter of 2014.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Sanjeev Nimkar, Vice President – Power Generation Business mentioned, “KOEL heartily welcomes CPCB-II which are one of the most stringent emission norms in the world. As the cost of CPCB-II compliant engines is anticipated to be 15-20% higher than the current models we anticipate that customers  would buy diesel Gensets before the new CPCB-II norms come into force from 1 April 2014. And hence we foresee a rise in demand of Gensets in this quarter. KOEL along with all its channel partners is suitably geared up to service this demand and help customers to make smart moves. In addition to this our recent offering of 10 years of free service on select Genset ranges will further motivate the buyers to prefer Kirloskar Green with peace of mind. This will also help us  to reach in many more international markets. KOEL is fully geared up to manufacture CPCB-II compliant engines. These new DG sets will provide better fuel efficiency while being more environment friendly, making it a win-win situation for the customer.”

KOEL is the first Genset manufacturer in India to have launched its ten year free service offer for its valuable customers, who have purchased Gensets (15 kVA to 625 kVA) after 20th of Nov 2013. This offer has received a great response from the customers as well as the channel partners and has resulted in enhanced enquiries & improved sales in the said quarter. Considering this unprecedented response KOEL soon proposes to launch an equally lucrative offer for all its existing customers who have already purchased the Gensets (15 kVA to 625 kVA) during the last five years. This offer is under the program “Bandhan” and details will be shared with the customers very soon.
