As India’s steel and foundry industries continue to expand, the demand for robust and high-capacity furnace transformers is rising steadily. At IFEX, Transformers & Rectifiers (India) Ltd (TARIL) showcased its specialised furnace transformer solutions designed for steel plants and metal casting operations.
Bijan Das, General Manager – Exports and Special Application Transformers at TARIL, highlighted the company’s expertise in manufacturing transformers for energy-intensive industries. A publicly listed company, TARIL is recognised globally as one of the leading manufacturers of arc furnace and special application transformers.
The company’s portfolio includes power transformers, rectifier transformers, arc furnace transformers, induction furnace transformers, distribution transformers, as well as solutions for solar and industrial drive transformer (IDT) applications. Its strength lies in designing transformers that can withstand high electrical loads and fluctuating operating conditions typical of steel and foundry environments.
At the exhibition, the spotlight was firmly on furnace transformers — a critical component wherever induction furnaces, arc furnaces or ladle furnaces are installed. These transformers are mandatory for furnace operations, as they regulate and convert power to meet the demanding requirements of melting and refining processes in steel plants.
With increasing investments in steel capacity and modern foundry infrastructure, the role of specialised transformer manufacturers has become even more significant. Reliable furnace transformers not only ensure uninterrupted operations but also contribute to energy efficiency and long-term plant performance.
TARIL’s presence at IFEX reflects its long-standing association with the industry. While the company has regularly attended industry exhibitions and conferences over the past four decades, this marks its return as an exhibitor after nearly ten years. Its last major participation as an exhibitor was in Noida in 2016.
According to Bijan Das, IFEX serves as a valuable networking platform, bringing together steel producers, foundry operators, OEMs and technology providers at one venue. With strong footfall and participation from key industry players, the event continues to facilitate collaboration and business development across the metal manufacturing ecosystem.
As India strengthens its position in global steel production and industrial infrastructure, transformer manufacturers like TARIL are playing a crucial role in powering growth. Through advanced furnace transformer technology and export-driven capabilities, the company continues to support both domestic and international markets.
