What Are DG Sets on Rent or Hire?
DG Sets on Rent or Hire are diesel generator sets supplied for a fixed period under a rental contract. The customer pays for the usage period and not for ownership. Fuel, operator, transport and other items are set out in the contract.
In practice, “rent” and “hire” mean the same thing. Many customers say “rent” for short-term needs and “hire” for longer projects. Vardhman handles both.
Renting suits you if:
- the need is temporary, such as a project, event or seasonal peak
- you want to avoid a large capital outlay
- you need extra capacity during planned maintenance or an expansion
- you want to test your actual load before buying
Silent DG Sets on Rent or Hire: How They Work
A silent DG set is a generator set housed in an acoustic enclosure, also called a canopy. The enclosure reduces engine noise and protects the set from weather.
CPCB rules ask for a maximum of 75 dB(A) at 1 metre from the enclosure surface for new diesel sets up to 1000 kVA, with an integral acoustic enclosure fitted at manufacture. This is why silent DG set on rent is the usual choice for offices, hospitals, hotels, banquet venues, residential complexes and events.
Noise at your boundary also depends on siting, distance, exhaust direction and ambient noise. Share your site layout when you enquire so the set can be positioned sensibly.
DG Sets on Rent or Hire: Capacity Range and Typical Uses
Vardhman states a range of 58 kVA to 2,000 kVA. The bands below follow the company’s own capacity guidance. The kW column is an indicative conversion at 0.8 power factor. Do not treat kVA and kW as interchangeable.
| Capacity band (kVA) | Approx. kW at 0.8 pf (indicative) | Typical uses |
|---|
| 58–125 | 46–100 | Shops, offices, clinics, small commercial spaces, backup power |
| 125–250 | 100–200 | Commercial buildings, banquet halls, retail facilities, construction sites |
| 250–500 | 200–400 | Manufacturing units, large construction projects, events, industrial operations |
| 500–1,000 | 400–800 | Large factories, infrastructure projects, high-demand commercial facilities |
| 1,000–2,000 | 800–1,600 | Heavy industries, major infrastructure, large-scale power needs |
The fleet information references Cummins, Kirloskar, Mahindra Powerol, Jakson, Ashok Leyland and Caterpillar (Cat). Brand and model availability varies by capacity and location, so confirm it at the time of enquiry.
Applications and Industries Using DG Sets on Rent or Hire
- Construction sites: Cranes, concrete plants, hoists and site lighting create heavy starting loads. A rented set can be sized for peak demand and moved to the next site when the project ends.
- Events and exhibitions: Sound, lighting, staging and catering need stable power for a few hours or days. Silent DG sets on rent or hire keep noise down near guests.
- Industrial units: Factories rent DG sets to cover grid outages, to add capacity during expansion, or to keep production running during maintenance shutdowns.
- Commercial buildings: Offices, malls and complexes use rented sets for lifts, HVAC, lighting and IT loads when grid supply fails.
- Healthcare, hospitality and IT: These sites need dependable backup with low noise. Discuss load priorities and changeover arrangements with the team before deployment.
How to Choose DG Sets on Rent or Hire: Selection Guidance
Follow these steps before you request a quote.
- Add up your connected load. List every item to be powered, with its kW or kVA rating.
- Allow for starting load. Motors, compressors, pumps and lifts draw several times their running current at start-up.
- Leave headroom. Running a set well below full capacity is usually kinder to the engine. Running it overloaded is not.
- Check power factor. kVA = kW ÷ power factor. A 100 kW load at 0.8 power factor needs about 125 kVA.
- Match the site. Altitude, ambient temperature, space, ventilation and access for a truck all affect which set suits. Hill sites in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh may need derating advice.
- Decide on noise. Choose a silent canopy set where neighbours, patients or guests are close.
- Confirm duration. Short-term and long-term contracts are structured differently.
- Check compliance needs. See the next section.
If you are unsure, ask the technical team to review your load list. Oversizing wastes fuel and undersizing risks tripping.
Compliance Considerations for DG Sets on Rent or Hire
Rules on DG sets differ by state and change over time. Treat the points below as general guidance and check the current position for your site.
- CPCB IV+: Emission norms apply to new diesel gensets and are enforced at the manufacturing stage. The CPCB-IV standards were notified under MoEFCC notification GSR 804(E) dated 3 November 2022. Vardhman states that its rental fleet is CPCB IV+ and sourced from OEMs. Confirm the model-level certification for the set offered to you.
- Noise: The 75 dB(A) limit at 1 m for new sets applies at manufacture. Siting and maintenance affect noise in use.
- Delhi NCR: CAQM directions regulate DG set operation, and restrictions tighten during GRAP periods. Sets running purely on gas fuels face no restriction, while diesel sets may be allowed limited hours only if converted to dual-fuel mode and fitted with retrofit emission control devices. Check the latest CAQM and state pollution control board position before deployment.
- Other states: State pollution control boards may set their own conditions. This can include consent requirements for your premises.
CPCB IV+ compliance does not by itself exempt a diesel set from NCR operating restrictions. Do not assume a ban-free status. Ask for a written confirmation of what applies to your site.
DG Sets on Rent or Hire: Rental Charges and Quotation Details
Vardhman does not publish fixed rates. It maintains an approved rate card, and rates vary by client and contract. The main factors are:
- generator capacity (kVA) and brand
- rental duration and expected running hours
- silent canopy or other configuration
- delivery location and transport distance
- operator and maintenance arrangements
- fuel arrangement
Rental charges are typically quoted separately from fuel, operator and transportation. The final position depends on the agreed contract. In Indian rental tenders, fixed hiring charges are commonly kept separate from fuel, with fuel charged on actual consumption at a quoted litres-per-hour rate. Ask for the expected fuel consumption in litres per hour for the set you are offered.
| Detail to share | Why it matters |
|---|
| Required capacity (kVA) or load list | Sets the model and size |
| Rental duration | Short-term and long-term terms differ |
| Site location and access | Affects transport and positioning |
| Silent canopy needed? | Affects set selection |
| Phase and voltage | Must match your distribution |
| Fuel, operator and cabling needs | Defines the commercial scope |
| Changeover or AMF panel needs | Affects installation planning |
