Neo Tele-Tronix Pvt. Ltd. Better know as NTPL, a leader in manufacturing Electrical Test and Measuring Equipment, is focused on developing new generation Test Equipment and dedicated to optimize the Test system as per relevant Standards and also customisation
. With an emphasis on R&D, automation, and product innovation, the company is developing sophisticated equipment, including Partial Discharge and Impulse Test setups and automatic vacuum integrity and contact resistance measuring systems. Arijit Basuray, Managing Director of Neo Tele-Tronix Pvt Ltd., expressed his views in talks with EPR.
What are Neo Tele-Tronix’s latest technological advancements expected to drive efficiency in the industrial and commercial sectors?
We know the rapidly changing technologies and their implications in our manufacturing field. Thus, we emphasise R&D with updated technology and automation to work continuously for innovation and product development. With this view, Neo Tele-Tronix Pvt.Ltd is focused on making sophisticated test equipment, which could be a good import substitute. Apart from partial discharge testing setup and impulse test setup, we are also involved in manufacture of high-performance, highly sophisticated, and technically challenging equipment like automatic vacuum integrity and contact resistance measuring setup, as well as voltage and current conditioning of contacts of vacuum interrupters.
How can we enhance test and measurement equipment with advanced monitoring capabilities for renewable installations?
The variable nature of renewable sources like wind and solar has driven the development of more sophisticated power electronics, particularly smart inverters with advanced grid-support functions like voltage regulation and frequency response. At the same time, FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) devices are becoming more prevalent to help manage power flow and maintain stability with intermittent renewables. In this situation, all the components, like transformers, insulators, switchgears cables, energy storage systems, capacitors, etc., should be more robust.
We are focused on developing more compact and portable test sets for field-testing renewable installations and dielectric testing equipment to handle unique stress patterns from power electronics. Our specially designed impulse generators produce combined voltage stresses that closely simulate real operating conditions. Additionally, we are integrating digital control and analysis capabilities into traditional HV test equipment, such as AC/DC test sets and tan delta measurement systems. Since condition monitoring with Partial Discharge measurement is becoming more and more powerful, we want to enhance our product basket in this area of test and measuring systems.
How is integrating IoT, AI, and edge computing transforming electrical systems with predictive maintenance and real-time optimisation?We find the trend to be that traditional electrical components are being redesigned with embedded sensors and communication capabilities, integration of edge computing capabilities directly into equipment for local processing and decision-making with many connected equipment through IoT. Smart transformers with real-time monitoring, automatic tap-changing capabilities, and intelligent circuit breakers that can provide detailed operational data and predictive maintenance insights are coming into reality.
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) with bi-directional communication enhances grid management. Solid-state power control devices and sophisticated SCADA systems integrate IoT data streams for better visualisation and decision-making. ADMS with real-time optimisation, AI, and ML enable predictive maintenance and grid optimisation for more efficient and reliable power distribution.
What are your expectations from the government regarding grid modernization and energy infrastructure?
The government will likely prioritise grid modernization, EV infrastructure development, green hydrogen production facilities, and energy storage systems. Additionally, increased funding for rural electrification, support for MSME units, and targeted R&D investments—particularly for units engaged in meaningful research—will be key in advancing the ‘Make in India’ vision. Emphasis on capital subsidies for technology upgrades and tax incentives for local manufacturing units may also be part of the agenda. This year, we look forward to participating as visitors at ELECRAMA 2025.
