In an era where industries are increasingly held accountable for their environmental footprint, PRIMA Equipment has emerged as a symbol of innovation, integrity, and indigenous excellence. Founded and led by Dr. Pritesh M. Shah, PRIMA has transformed India’s environmental monitoring landscape by becoming the country’s first manufacturer of internationally verified Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). With its cutting-edge technology, unwavering commitment to quality, and deep alignment with regulatory frameworks, PRIMA is not just manufacturing instruments—it’s building trust in data, transparency in operations, and sustainability in growth.
Established with the vision to create world-class monitoring solutions in India, PRIMA Equipment has become a driving force behind the nation’s environmental self-reliance. The company’s portfolio spans CEMS, Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems (CAAQMS), Dust Monitoring Systems, and process analyzers that serve industries ranging from cement and steel to power, refineries, and fertilizers.
At the heart of PRIMA’s philosophy lies a belief that compliance is not merely about fulfilling a regulatory checklist—it is about ensuring that every reading, every data point, and every emission report reflects the true environmental performance of an industry. This belief led Dr. Shah to pursue a journey that few dared to attempt: to achieve international verification for Indian-made CEMS.
In collaboration with TCQA Labs Pvt. Ltd., India’s first independent testing facility for CEMS, PRIMA’s systems underwent rigorous evaluations under EN 15267-3, EN 15259, and EN 14181 standards, meeting the same benchmarks as European counterparts. This landmark achievement culminated in PRIMA receiving MCERTS QAL-1 certification from the CSA Group (UK), officially recognizing it as India’s first indigenous manufacturer of internationally certified CEMS.
This milestone redefined the capabilities of Indian engineering. No longer dependent on costly European imports or overseas validation, Indian industries can now access globally approved emission monitoring systems—made, tested, and certified in India. The impact has been transformative: Cost savings and faster certification cycles for Indian industries.
Enhanced regulatory compliance through credible, auditable emission data.
Stronger environmental accountability and improved public trust.
Beyond technology, PRIMA’s commitment extends to continual quality assurance. The company adheres to QAL-2, QAL-3, and Annual Surveillance Testing (AST) protocols, ensuring every CEMS maintains its accuracy and reliability throughout its lifecycle. This focus on consistency has positioned PRIMA as a preferred partner for industries aiming for both performance excellence and environmental responsibility.
Under Dr. Shah’s leadership, PRIMA Equipment is shaping a future where Indian innovation meets global standards, where sustainability drives competitiveness, and where technology becomes a tool for national progress. As Dr. Shah aptly puts it, “Only with Clean Environment & Intentions, Rises a Clean, Great Nation.” With over a decade of research, testing, and collaboration behind it, PRIMA continues to uphold its mission—to empower industries with reliable monitoring solutions that not only meet compliance but also contribute meaningfully to India’s vision of cleaner air and sustainable industrial growth.
