In Sri Lanka, Chint has had a powerful presence for over a decade, as in 2005, it was originally introduced to the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to satisfy its requirements. Since then, Chint became the ‘most preferred low-voltage switchgear brand’, as for the CEB’s initiative, the 100 percent rural electrification programme, Chint supplied over 1.8 million pieces of low-voltage protective switchgear to-date. Chint is also ranked as one of the leading PV Solar manufacturers in the world.
