Mitsubishi Electric’s Elevator Business in India
India is the world’s second largest market for new elevators and escalators, following China. Although demand decreased temporarily in fiscal 2021 due to COVID-19, stable growth is expected from fiscal 2022 onwards. Mitsubishi Electric commenced its elevator business in India through a local distributor in 1995 and then established IMEC in 2012. The company has continued to expand its business, including by initiating local production of elevators and establishing an integrated system for sales, manufacturing, installation and maintenance in 2016. Going forward, Mitsubishi Electric is committed to continually improving customer satisfaction by providing safe, reliable and comfortable products and services to customers in India.
General Operational Description of DOAS (Integrated with Building’s Security Gates)
When user’s employee ID, etc. card is authenticated at the security gate, their destination floor is read from the card and automatically registered. The number of the elevator assigned to the user appears instantly on the security gate’s LCD indicator as the user passes through.
Contributions to the Environment
Mitsubishi Electric elevators use gearless hoisting machines fitted with permanent magnet motors for reduced power consumption.
