What is a Kirloskar generator?
Kirloskar Electric is one of India's oldest and most respected industrial conglomerates, founded in 1888. The company's generator division — Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (KOEL) — manufactures diesel and gas generator sets that power critical infrastructure across 60+ countries. Their gensets are renowned for low fuel consumption, robust build quality, and exceptional performance in extreme heat, dust, and humidity — conditions that match the UAE's climate perfectly.
A Kirloskar generator (also known as a Kirloskar genset or Kirloskar DG set) combines a Kirloskar-designed diesel engine with a leading alternator to deliver reliable, continuous or standby power. The product range spans compact portable units for small commercial spaces, all the way to containerised mega-sets for power plants and mega-industrial projects.
