Special Correspondent

To augment manpower in Bangalore R & D centre

BANGALORE: Global power and control specialist Schneider Electric plans to make India an export base for the rest of the world, its Chairman and CEO, Jean-Pascal Tricoire said here on Friday.

The company's Indian subsidiary, Schneider Electric India, generated revenues of Euro 120 million in 2005, out of which exports of low voltage products to West Asia, Saudi Arabia, Gulf region and Africa accounted for Euro 15 million. "With the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, we plan to make India an export base to the rest of the world,'' Tricoire told reporters during a visit to the company's R&D centre in Bangalore, its biggest outside the U.S. and Europe, that employs around 400 people. Tricoire said Schneider would keep growing its R&D manpower in Bangalore which had witnessed a 200 per cent growth over last year. Schneider would look at the possibility of a stock exchange listing in India in the future.
