Apar Industries is an electrical equipment company headquartered in Mumbai with revenue of $850 million. While it accounts for 50% of the Indian transformer oil market and 22% of the aluminum conductor market, recent financial reports show declining revenues and profits. The company has invested over $90 million in new plants but still faces challenges from the economic slowdown. Overall, Apar Industries has strong market positions but its financial performance has weakened, so further recovery may be needed before it presents a solid long-term investment opportunity.
