Logistics and network
Shipping to Uganda.
Consignments for Uganda move Sea to Mombasa, then road on the Northern Corridor to Kampala, about 1,100 km. Typical transit is 10 to 14 days to Mombasa, 5 to 8 days road; discharge at Mombasa (Kenya), then road. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Mombasa on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 415/240 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution; 132 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDCL, which took over the Umeme concession in 2025) and UETCL for transmission, regulated by Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA). Import conformity: UNBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC): Certificate of Conformity issued in the country of export for consignments above USD 2,000 FOB.
Distribution transformers are the highest-volume line on the campus — around 900 jobs a month across the full IS 1180 rating ladder, from 16 kVA agricultural units to 1000 kVA industrial supply.
Standard build is Dyn11, ONAN, 11/0.433 kV or 33/0.433 kV, with off-circuit tapping. But almost nothing here is fixed: vector group, impedance, tapping range, winding material, fittings and efficiency level are all specified by the purchaser, and we build to that schedule rather than asking you to accept ours.

Specifying
What changes for Uganda.
- Climate and site: Equatorial highland, 1,100 to 1,300 m altitude, 30 °C; altitude derating applies.
- Built to IEC 60076 for 50 Hz, with insulation levels for the 11 kV and 33 kV distribution and 415/240 V secondaries; temperature-rise limits and cooling sized for the stated ambient and altitude.
- Fittings, bushings and tap-changer ranges follow the utility specification (Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDCL, which took over the Umeme concession in 2025) and UETCL for transmission); type-test certificates from CPRI or ERDA accompany the offer.
- Documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, test certificates and the import conformity certificate where Uganda requires one.
