In a bid to address Nigeria’s power challenges and stimulate economic recovery, Multivista West Africa Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with Kirloskar Powergen to expand access to reliable power solutions in Nigeria and across West Africa.
The two companies announced the partnership during an official event held in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos. The initiative is designed to improve energy access through advanced technology, enhance customer experience, and demonstrate their shared commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Speaking at the event, the Global President of Powergen Business at Kirloskar Powergen, Madan Patil, said Nigeria’s position as Africa’s largest economy makes it a key market for the company’s growth. He pledged that the firm would focus on delivering efficient, user-friendly generating sets tailored for the Nigerian environment.
“We are prioritising user experience by offering exceptional features and benefits to our customers in Nigeria,” Patil said. “Kirloskar Powergen is known for engineering innovations that set new benchmarks in the power industry.”
He noted that Kirloskar’s presence in the Nigerian market had previously been limited, prompting the collaboration with Multivista to scale distribution and improve the quality of its offerings. He highlighted fuel efficiency, low noise levels, and ease of use as major features of Kirloskar generators.
Patil added that the partnership aims to contribute to Nigeria’s economic development by helping businesses and households access consistent and affordable power.
Director of Multivista West Africa Limited, Mahesh Jayaraman, noted that while the company has operated in India for over a century, it has been expanding aggressively across Africa in recent years, with operations already established in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
“Nigeria is the largest generator market in Africa, and over the last two years, our products have been well received,” Jayaraman said. “It is the right time to introduce our latest innovation—the smallest 1000 KVA generator—which will soon be officially launched in Nigeria.”
He explained that the new generators are designed to be fuel-efficient, offering an economically viable solution for Nigerian customers. The company also announced plans to introduce gas-powered generators into the local market in the near future, as part of its long-term strategy to provide sustainable alternatives to address persistent power supply gaps.
Multivista, established in 1974, is one of India’s leading firms in printing and industrial distribution. Jayaraman said the company has developed multiple product lines focused on power reliability and added services.
He assured Nigerian consumers that affordability and technological innovation would remain central to the brand’s market approach. “We’ve sold hundreds of units in the last year due to our focus on reliability and affordability. Our pricing remains under control, and we’re committed to ensuring the availability of our products across the Nigerian market.”
