# Vayu air compressors launched for MSMEs by Elgi Equipments 2026-08-21T23:06:48+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Elgi Equipments has launched Vayu, a new air compressor brand in India, targeting manufacturers and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The brand offers a range of 5 to 45 kW compressors in fixed- and variable-speed configurations, with operating pressures from 7 to 12.5 bar. The portfolio includes accessories, genuine spare parts, warranty coverage and nationwide service support. Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Chief Operating Officer of Elgi Equipments, said the company has served the MSME community for decades and Vayu brings dependable screw compressor technology built around Indian manufacturing realities. ## Indian Opinion Analysis MSMEs account for about 30% of India's GDP and employ over 110 million people, making reliable equipment a productivity lifeline. Elgi Equipments, a Coimbatore-based firm with over six decades in compressed air systems, already supplies large industrial clients. With Vayu, it is targeting the price-sensitive MSME segment, where power efficiency and uptime directly affect margins. The 5-45 kW range suits small workshops and factories. Competitors include domestic players like Kirloskar Pneumatics and global brands such as Atlas Copco. The next metric to watch is dealer penetration in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where most MSMEs are located. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Straightforward product launch report with no editorial slant, quotes the company executive directly.
