MAY 20252 3MAY 2025 Industrial automation is no longer a competitive advantage - it has become a business imperative. As manufacturers worldwide accelerate their transition toward Industry 4.0, the demand for intelligent sensing technologies, reliable control systems, and predictive automation continues to rise. Industrial sensors, often operating behind the scenes, have become the foundation of connected manufacturing by enabling real-time monitoring, precision control, machine safety, and data-driven decision-making. According to Mordor Intelligence, the India Industrial Sensors and Transmitters Market is projected to grow from approximately USD 1.14 billion in 2023 to USD 1.78 billion by 2028, driven by rapid industrial automation, smart manufacturing, electric mobility, and infrastructure expansion. At the same time, industries are increasingly seeking dependable, locally engineered technologies that can match global quality standards while reducing dependence on imports. Few companies have contributed to this transformation as consistently as Jayashree Electron Pvt. Ltd. Established in 1982, the company emerged at a time when India's industrial sector relied heavily on imported automation components. More than four decades later, Jayashree Electron has evolved into one of India's most respected manufacturers of industrial automation, sensing, control, and motor starting solutions. By combining indigenous product development, strong engineering capabilities, and an unwavering commitment to quality, the company has not only built a trusted domestic brand but has also positioned itself as a global supplier serving customers across 24 countries. Its journey reflects the evolution of India's automation industry itself - from import substitution to innovation-led manufacturing. By Himanshu KCOVER STORY With a production capacity exceeding 30,000 sensors per month and additional spare manufacturing capacity, Jayashree Electron is well positioned to support both large industrial projects and growing automation demands without compromising delivery timelines or product quality INDUSTRIAL SENSORS MANUFACTURERS - 2026 Powering India's Industrial Automation Revolution through Indigenous Innovation Jayashree Electron

MAY 20254 5MAY 2025 Pioneering Indigenous Automation for Indian Industry Jayashree Electron's story is rooted in solving a critical industrial challenge. During the early 1980s, proximity sensors were expensive imported products, limiting their accessibility for Indian manufacturers. Recognizing the opportunity to build reliable domestic alternatives, the company pioneered the development of Proximity Switches in India, making advanced sensing technology both affordable and accessible for local industries. What began as a focused engineering initiative has since evolved into a diversified industrial automation enterprise. Today, Jayashree Electron designs and manufactures more than 15 product categories, including Proximity Sensors, Electronic Speed Switches, Level Sensors, Sequence Timers, Electronic Brakes, Motor Soft Starters, Transducers, and a wide range of control and safety devices serving diverse industrial applications. "The company's philosophy has remained remarkably consistent throughout its journey - engineering products that combine reliability, durability, and application-specific performance. Rather than simply expanding its catalogue, Jayashree Electron has continuously developed technologies that respond to changing industrial requirements, enabling manufacturers to improve operational efficiency, enhance process safety, and achieve greater equipment reliability”, speaks Dhananjay Dabke, Managing Director. This long-term engineering approach has enabled the company to build enduring relationships with industries where operational continuity is non-negotiable, including engineering, steel, cement, material handling, power generation, pharmaceuticals, textiles, defence, agriculture, and process industries. Engineering Excellence Built on In-House Innovation One of Jayashree Electron's defining strengths lies in its complete control over product development. Unlike manufacturers that rely heavily on outsourced design or imported technology platforms, the company has invested extensively in building comprehensive in-house research, design, validation, and manufacturing capabilities. Its modern manufacturing facilities, spanning approximately 4,200 square metres across two plants, support the production of more than 15 core product lines that have been entirely designed and developed internally. Every stage - from concept development and engineering design to validation, testing, manufacturing, and quality assurance - is managed within the organization, allowing faster innovation, greater customization, and uncompromising quality control. “The company is supported by a dedicated workforce of over 170 engineers, technicians, and manufacturing professionals who continuously refine existing products while developing new solutions to address evolving industrial challenges. Its engineering teams introduce multiple new sensor variants every month, enabling rapid response to specialized application requirements across industries”, shares Dhananjay Dabke. Equally important is Jayashree Electron's rigorous quality culture. Every product undergoes extensive in- house validation before being tested through recognized laboratories to ensure compliance with stringent quality standards. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer with products conforming to CE standards, the company has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver internationally competitive solutions without compromising on reliability or performance. This engineering-led approach has enabled Jayashree Electron to maintain exceptional product consistency while supporting both high-volume production requirements and specialized customer applications with equal efficiency. Scaling Innovation Across Diverse Industrial Applications Over four decades of continuous innovation have enabled Jayashree Electron to build one of India's broadest portfolios of industrial automation products. Today, the company manufactures over 1,500 proximity sensor variants, addressing a wide spectrum of industrial sensing requirements across manufacturing environments. Its capabilities extend well beyond sensing technologies. Jayashree Electron has been a pioneer in developing Motor Soft Starters in India under the leadership of its founder, Late Ram Bapat. For more than three decades, these solutions have helped industries improve motor protection, reduce electrical stress, optimize energy consumption, and enhance operational reliability across numerous industrial applications. Continuing this family legacy into its third generation, Mihir Dabke is now taking forward the company's Soft Starter business, with a focus on driving its growth, innovation, and market reach to new heights. Similarly, the company's Electronic Speed Switches have become trusted solutions for monitoring rotary and linear motion, while its Level Sensors, Sequence Timers, Transducers, and Electronic Brakes support increasingly sophisticated automation architectures across process industries.
