generating sets (20, 30 and 50 kVA) having sound level of less than

55 dBA @7 m. These generating sets are operating at remote

locations. As such, reliability of the generating sets is critical to

ensure 24x7 power availability. Also, bigger fuel tanks are

required. We have supplied the generating sets with 250 lit, 500 lit

and 1000 lit fuel tanks.

It is also essential to provide effective after sales service support to
the units in the field. Our service provider has done a tremendous
job on this front. To further augment our service capabilities, as
the population of our generating sets is increasing, we have
opened our office in Yangoon.

Going forward, Varsico-Atlas Copco will look to extend their procurement to the HA engines family of HA294, HA494 and
HA694 engines, and also look to add the water-cooed series of engines subsequently. Varisco-Atlas Copco have also evinced interest in emission-

KOEL executes bulk order from Vietnam
in record time

On 03rd January 2020 we received Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Power requirement consisting more than 100
Generating sets from our partner DP Consulting Co. Ltd, Vietnam for one of the prestigious rental project in Hanoi,
Vietnam. The power requirement consisted of generating sets range from 20 to 1010 kVA.

Delivery schedule was the most critical factor demanding delivery of generating sets in
Vietnam within 60 days including shipment time from India to Vietnam. In addition to
stringent delivery period, Durability and reliability of the product was vital since the
generating sets will run for 24x7 operation during project execution.

As KOEL is known for willingness to consistently go above and beyond when completing a
task, management decided to participate in this project and committed to meet stringent
delivery schedule. KOEL Sales team submitted detailed proposal post internal discussion with
concerned departments such as SCM, AEPG considering stringent delivery schedule and
technical requirements.

Several discussions between KOEL Senior management and DP Consulting senior
management took place on commercial terms and delivery commitments. On 11th January we
were excited to see that our work with DP Consulting to secure this deal has finally come to
fruition. All departments of KOEL were excited with this confirmation and committed to make
sure to deliver the project within committed time.

While order processing we faced another major challenge when project consultant changed
power requirement in terms in generating set quantities and power ratings. Changes in
ratings, quantities which included ratings which were proto codes made job more difficult but
dedication and hard work of KOEL team made the completion on time possible setting
example of hardworking and change management. The entire execution has been like a race
wherein the generating sets were manufactured and shipped by Kirloskar precisely in
schedule. Whole logistics of generating sets planned and closely monitored to ensure arrival
of generating sets in Vietnam in committed time and last batch of generating set arrived in Vietnam on 13th March
i.e. 2 days earlier than cut off date.

Our Partner DP Consulting appreciated the efforts put in by KOEL’s senior management and all departments involving
Sales, Engineering, Operation, Supply Chain and Logistics in meeting the stringent delivery schedule of this project.
This project boost the confidence of DP Consulting for participating in future projects which are challenging in nature.
