What Voltas does

Tata Group's air-conditioning leader, also running engineering/EPC and mining equipment businesses.

Room air conditioners, sold through dealers and retailers, carry the company, and sales bunch in the hot months, so a cool or rainy summer hurts the year. The project business wins cooling and electrical contracts, including in the Gulf, and books revenue as work is done. Tata Sons is the largest shareholder.

In one line: India's Carrier / Trane for air conditioning.
