5. About Paluck Technologies Limited

Paluck Technologies Limited was incorporated on April 8, 2010, as Paluck Technologies Private Limited and converted into a public limited company in 2021. The company has evolved from diesel generator maintenance into a diversified engineering and infrastructure support platform covering telecom, automobile services, logistics, equipment rental and leasing.

Its business model is focused on service execution, equipment deployment and OEM relationships, rather than manufacturing. Accordingly, the RHP states that capacity utilisation is not applicable as the company does not have specified installed manufacturing capacity.

Telecom Engineering Services

Since 2011, Paluck has provided telecom engineering services, including network implementation, site integration, operations and maintenance, network strengthening, capacity enhancement and upgradation. It also undertakes BTS and OFC maintenance for a government-owned operator, with operations across several telecom circles in India.

Power Equipment and Authorised Service Centres

The company undertakes authorised distribution, dealership and servicing of OEM products across power equipment, commercial vehicles and two-wheelers. Its services include generator servicing, dual-fuel conversion, emission-control solutions and spare-parts distribution. It also operates commercial-vehicle and two-wheeler service centres offering maintenance, repairs, warranty services and spare parts.

Logistics and Equipment Rental

The company provides concrete transportation, equipment rental and RMC plant-related services. Its disclosed fleet includes 92 transit mixers, 13 concrete pumps and 23 logistics trucks, with operations across multiple states and regions. Overall, the company has more than 190 specialised vehicles, supported by ERP, SAP and GPS-based tracking systems.
