The company said the contract underscores its strategic expansion in Gujarat, which it sees as a key growth market for India’s power infrastructure.
The project will focus on enhancing grid resilience by deploying state-of-the-art FPIs across DGVCL’s 7 KV to 13 KV overhead lines. According to Sugs Lloyd, the technology is critical for reducing outage times and improving operational efficiency, aligning with national objectives for a more reliable power grid.
The deployment will be executed on a turnkey basis and is scheduled to be completed within two months of mobilisation. FPIs will be installed at strategic intervals to enable real-time fault detection and location, addressing utilities’ pain points by minimising revenue losses from outages and improving consumer satisfaction.

This project with DGVCL is a testament to our execution capabilities and engineering expertise in grid automation. It provides a repeatable model that we can deploy with other utilities across the country as they invest in resilience and smart grid technologies.”
