An Indian company which manufactures energy efficient and solar equipment, Switcher India LLP, has announced intentions to partner with a credible Zambian company in its expansion programme.
“Our company which has over 5000 Indian local distributors has been convinced by Zambia’s High Commissioner to India Judith Kapijimpanga to consider Zambia as the best destination for investment,” Switcher India LLP Business Head Kapil Sobti said.
Speaking when Zambia High Commission in India staff toured the manufacturing facility, Mr. Sobti said the company had more women in the manufacturing chain in line with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s women empowerment agenda.
“Zambia stands to benefit through jobs and energy efficiency especially for highway projects as the equipment comes with motion sensors and cameras,” he added.
Mr. Sobti said the LED lights and switchgear products as well as the solar LED home lightings and appliances were important for Zambia in light of challenges of counterfeiting that affected quality of energy products.
Trade volume between Zambia and India now stood at US$1 Billion while total investment from India was at US$8 Billion.
This was contained in a statement released by First Secretary Press and Tourism at the Zambian Mission in New Delhi, India, Bangwe Naviley.
