Product Segmentation
Market Breakdown by 
Transformer Type
The Indian instrument transformers market 
comprises three primary product categories, 
each serving distinct measurement and 
protection requirements across the power 
sector.
Current Transformers (CT) dominate the 
market, essential for metering and protection 
applications across all voltage levels. Their 
widespread deployment in substations, 
industrial facilities, and renewable installations 
drives the largest market share.
Potential Transformers (PT) provide voltage 
measurement capabilities, whilst Combined 
Instrument Transformers offer integrated 
solutions reducing footprint and installation 
complexity in space-constrained applications.
Application Analysis
End-User Distribution
Power Utilities command the largest 
share, driven by transmission and 
distribution network expansion, grid 
modernisation programmes, and 
renewable energy integration 
requirements.
The Industrial Sector represents 
significant demand from manufacturing 
facilities, process industries, and 
commercial complexes requiring precise 
power quality monitoring.
Railways & Metros constitute a growing 
segment with electrification projects and 
urban transit expansion, whilst OEMs
