Comprehensive Guide to Used Generator Valuation
Understanding the fair market value of a used diesel generator is crucial for both buyers and sellers in the South Indian industrial market. Whether you are dealing with a standard Kirloskar unit or a heavy-duty Cummins genset, several key factors influence the final price.
Brand Reputation & Spare Availability
Brands like Kirloskar and Cummins command a premium (₹3,000-₹4,500/kVA) due to their widespread service network in cities like Coimbatore and Chennai. Less common brands may suffer from lower resale value due to spare part scarcity.
Age & Depreciation
Industrial machinery typically depreciates by 10-15% annually. However, well-maintained gensets with documented service history (AMC) retain value better. A 5-year-old unit with low hours is often more valuable than a newer unit with high runtime.
Runtime Hours (The 'Engine Life')
Diesel engines have a finite lifecycle (often 20,000-30,000 hours before major overhaul). A generator with under 5,000 hours is considered 'low usage' and fetches top dollar in the resale market.
