Frequently Asked Questions about Hydro Turbine

What size hydro turbines do you manufacture?

We manufacture Francis and Kaplan type hydro turbines from 100 kW to 50 MW capacity, suitable for small hydro, mini hydro, and medium-scale hydroelectric power projects across India.

What is the efficiency of your small hydro turbines?

Our turbines achieve 85-95% peak efficiency with precision-engineered runner blades in SS316/SS410 stainless steel, optimized for maximum energy extraction from water flow.

How long does a hydro turbine last?

Our turbines are designed for 40-50 years of service life with proper maintenance. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction ensures durability in harsh water environments.

Do you supply hydro turbines for rural electrification projects?

Yes, we supply micro and small hydro turbines for rural electrification, off-grid power generation, and irrigation projects. We provide turnkey solutions including site assessment, installation, and commissioning.

What is the cost of a small hydro turbine in India?

Cost depends on turbine type (Francis/Kaplan), power output, head range, and site conditions. As a direct manufacturer, we offer competitive pricing. Contact us for a project-specific quotation.
