FUTURE
Sky is the Springboard…Not
the Limit
Nuetech is one of the best-known
brands in the Indian market today and the
factors that have steadily elevated the
company to this level, have thrown open
a panorama of breathtaking business vistas
on its horizon now.
Wider outreach in local
market
Although solar radiation is available in
viable quantities round the year in most
of tropical India, a miniscule portion of
the market has so far been explored by the
solar thermal industry. To help unlock this
local potential, several Indian states have
announced attractive incentives to the buyers,
and a couple of them have mandated solar
heating installations for varieties of built
environments, Also, a national commission
on solar energy is now on the anvil and
this is going to open up new avenues, particularly
in the rural market, for public-private
partnership endeavours. To add to the momentum,
there is now growing awareness across the
user spectrum about the unparalleled advantages
of solar energy. Thus, in the local market
alone, Nuetech envisages several new trails
to blaze.
Bigger strides in ETC market
| Nuetech brought the blockbuster ETC (Evacuated
Tube Collector) technology into India after
overcoming many local challenges and venturing
to import vacuum tubes from abroad. As a
result, it is on the vanguard of India’s
ETC movement today, with the largest installation
base, and it has raised the bar in the industry
by producing and commissioning some of the
best and biggest ETC systems in the country.
The success of this venture has, in fact,
encouraged the government to extend its
gesture of subsidies to the ETC solar energy
sector. ETC will be a key driver of the
company’s future. |

Larger share of high-end
market
Nuetech is growing stronger in custom-building
large-capacity systems. With increasing
encouragement from the government and propelled
by the bright prospects of BOOT, it is now
strategically repositioning itself in the
institutional and commercial markets. In
the meantime, it is also pondering consolidation
of its hold on the OE market.
Overseas expansion
Nuetech has already received offers from
foreign manufacturers for joint-ventures
and is preparing for export certification
to different countries. With the world increasingly
going solar vis-à-vis fast-depleting
and environmentally & economically expensive
fossil fuels (coal, crude oil & natural
gas), and with rising global warming concerns,
the company’s export market is just
waiting to explode.
Forays into emerging fields
India being predominantly agricultural,
Nuetech visualizes enormous opportunities
to tap the market for solar heated air dryers
in the country. Over time, it will develop
competencies in solar concentrator, solar
air-conditioning and photovoltaic fields,
as well.
BOOT and CDM ventures
The twin engines of BOOT and CDM carry
the potential to shift the very paradigm
of Nuetech’s business.
Enhancement of infrastructure
and investment
| With a view to realizing all the above
prospects, Nuetech is going to scale up
its manufacturing equipment and processes,
expand its dealer networks, build an independent
R & D lab and upgrade its versatile
personnel strengths by inviting venture
capital or going public for the required
funds. It has already been rated “highly
viable” on a CII forum for venture
capital investments. |

It’s the future
of your children. It’s the future
of your planet. It’s solar
