OJUS Power and Technologies

OJUS Power and Technologies, an OEM in India’s generator market, has expanded its operations into the air compressor industry in partnership with Volvo Penta.

Volvo Penta supplies various engine models with different power ratings for OJUS’ compressor models. OJUS has placed an order for TAD1343VE and TAD1345VE configurations of Volvo Penta's D13 for the company’s compressor models VAYU 451XM and VAYU 536XH.

A compressor design using the D16 engines is also in the pipeline, joining the recently updated D8 genset engine that OJUS also packages for export.

Despite the absence of emission compliance regulations in this segment in India, Volvo Penta continues to offer engines that adhere to a minimum of off-road Euro Stage 2 emission standards. According to R. Sethumadhavan, head of Volvo Penta India and Industrial Business Unit, compressors are used extensively throughout India, particularly for water well drilling to provide water for agriculture and other societal needs.
