Nadi Airtechnics Pvt Ltd, a leading manufacturer and exporter of industrial fans based in Chennai, has announced a significant enhancement in its production capabilities with a ₹15 crore investment. The company has expanded its manufacturing facility by 40%, increasing its total space to 140,000 square feet, with the aim of boosting its industrial fan production from 450 to 600-650 fans per month. This expansion is made to streamline the assembly, testing, and painting processes, ensuring product reliability. Additionally, Nadi Airtechnics is venturing into the hydrogen and carbon capture sectors, offering specialized fans for these industries to improve air quality. To promote gender diversity and empowerment, the company is launching a new assembly line named “Pink Bay,” managed entirely by trained women from the local community. This initiative will introduce women to shop floor roles traditionally dominated by men, starting with 10 women and plans to increase to 30 over time. Nadi Airtechnics is also committing to sustainability by installing rooftop solar power to meet 50% of its energy requirements, with a future goal of reaching 100%. In terms of industry focus, besides railways, Nadi Airtechnics serves various sectors such as automotive, food and beverage, textiles, steel, and cement, providing high-quality fans for critical applications like nuclear power plants. The company has recently supplied hydrogen removal fans for nuclear facilities post the Fukushima disaster, solidifying its position as a reliable supplier. Despite the challenges, Nadi Airtechnics aims for significant revenue growth, targeting ₹150 crore this year and a long-term goal of ₹200 crore by 2027.
