An Exclusive Interview with Anil Kumar Munjal, Director And CEO, Riello Power India Pvt. Ltd. with Modern Plastics India (MPI) Magazine a Part of Modern Plastics Global Network
Q: Can you tell us about Riello Power India and your journey in the industry?
Riello Power India Pvt. Ltd. is 100% subsidiary of RPS S.p.A, Italy, a globally renowned brand known for manufacturing high quality, reliable, and most efficient UPS solutions. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is in Manesar, Gurgaon, which is equipped with advanced technology to produce best-in-class UPS. We have an extensive sales and service network spanning 26 locations across India, ensuring exceptional customer support. We have always focused on delivering innovative, robust and energy-efficient power solutions tailored to industry-specific needs. My journey with Riello has been about understanding the evolving challenges businesses face in power reliability and finding ways to address them with cutting-edge technology. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for quality, customer-centric solutions, and sustainability.
Q: Riello Power India is recognized as one of the leading UPS manufacturer company and holds a significant market share in power conditioning products. How has Riello Power achieved this remarkable growth?
Riello Power India has firmly established itself as a UPS-focused company with a commitment to innovation, quality, and customer-centric solutions. Our growth is driven by our ability to manufacture and offer a comprehensive range of UPS from 6kVA to 6400kVA. Our product portfolio includes Transformer based UPS, Transformer less UPS and Modular UPS. We provide solutions that cover the entire spectrum of requirements.
What truly sets us apart is our customer-first approach. It’s not that we make a box and give this box to anybody. Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, we carefully select the most suitable and sustainable UPS for each specific need, ensuring reliability and efficiency. The unmatched range of technologies and our dedication to delivering the right solution have positioned us as an industry leader.
Q: How do UPS systems benefit the plastic industry specifically?
The critical plastic processing equipment, essential for sustaining business operations, cannot afford downtime. Whether it involves multilayer extrusion blowing, UPVC/PVC pipe extrusion, PET preform injection molding, vacuum metallization, rotogravure printing, PSF fiber machines, woven sack manufacturing, extrusion lamination, or similar processes, even a brief power outage, surge, sag, or voltage fluctuation can cause severe damage to expensive machinery. This can result in production halts, shutdowns of the manufacturing process or the entire facility, leading to quality loss, material waste, time delays, and significant financial losses. Moreover, failing to deliver products to customers on time can damage your reputation and goodwill, compounding the negative impact on your business.
Take the example of manufacturer producing PVC or UPVC pipes. These processes rely on extrusion machines to convert plastic into pipes. If there’s a power interruption during operation, the process halts abruptly. This leads to the material getting stuck in the machine, requiring extensive time and effort to clean them before resuming production. Not only does this waste time, but it also results in material loss and inefficiency. A UPS ensures continuous power supply, avoiding such interruptions and maintaining the smooth flow of operations.
By providing clean and stable power, a UPS also helps extend the lifespan of these machines, ensuring they perform efficiently over time. This makes UPS solutions absolutely vital for saving time, minimizing material waste, and maintaining overall productivity in manufacturing environments.”
Q: What challenges do plastic manufacturers face regarding power supply, and how does Riello address them?
The primary challenges include power outages, voltage instability, and harmonics in the power supply that can impact machinery performance. Plastic production processes often run round-the-clock, making it crucial to avoid interruptions. Riello addresses these challenges with our advanced UPS systems, which feature high energy efficiency, robust overload capabilities, and harmonic filtering. Our solutions are also scalable, allowing manufacturers to adapt to increasing production demands without overhauling their power infrastructure.
Q: Sustainability is a growing concern across industries. How does Riello incorporate sustainability in its solutions?
At Riello, sustainability is at the core of our innovation. Our UPS systems are designed to minimize energy consumption through high efficiency, even at partial loads. Many of our UPS models are equipped with eco-mode features that further reduce power consumption during low-load conditions.
Riello UPS has always been a front runner in providing reliable power for a sustainable world. With industries and governments working toward net-zero emissions and reducing carbon footprint, there’s a growing demand for UPS solution that can integrate seamlessly with net-zero emissions and reducing carbon footprint. Many of our UPS are designed for a sustainable decarbonization strategy to successfully lower carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency. The efficiency benefits are significant, resulting in tons of CO2 saved and huge energy bill savings yearly, helped in minimizing the environmental impact for a sustainable world.
Q: What advice would you give to plastic manufacturers when selecting a UPS system?
I would advise manufacturers to look for a UPS system tailored to their specific operational requirements. Key considerations include power capacity, efficiency levels, scalability, and compatibility with their existing infrastructure. It’s also important to evaluate the total cost of ownership (TCO), not just the upfront price. Reliable after-sales support and ease of maintenance should be a priority. Partnering with a trusted brand like Riello ensures you receive not just a product but a comprehensive power solution that evolves with your business needs.
Q: What trends do you foresee in the power solutions market for industrial sectors like plastics?
We see a strong move towards energy-efficient and compact systems, as space and energy costs are key concerns. There’s also growing demand for lithium-ion batteries in UPS systems due to their longer lifespan and faster charging capabilities. In the industrial sector, including plastics, the adoption of renewable energy integration is increasing. Lastly, smart technologies, predictive analytics, and AI will continue to shape the future of power solutions, offering deeper insights and improved reliability.
Q: What role does Riello Power India’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction play in fulfilling its mission of being a leading provider of power solutions across India?
