These are public-market references observed from Bangladesh listings, not PS Power selling prices or guaranteed ranges. Current PS Power quotations depend on exact model and project scope.
Why two generators with the same kVA can have very different prices
Engine platform
Exact engine model, origin, emissions configuration, governor and service network matter more than a broad brand label.
Alternator & controller
Stamford/other alternator family, insulation class, AVR, Deep Sea/ComAp/PowerCommand controls and communication options change cost and capability.
Open vs silent
A proper acoustic canopy adds steelwork, airflow engineering, attenuation, access doors, weather protection and exhaust treatment.
Project scope
ATS, breaker panel, cabling, earthing, fuel piping, exhaust, civil foundation, transport, installation and commissioning may be separate or bundled.
Brand comparison: Ricardo, Cummins and Perkins
| Brand / family | Typical buyer reason | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Ricardo | Value-oriented industrial generator option common in Bangladesh. | Exact Chinese engine manufacturer/model, alternator, controller, canopy and local parts path. |
| Cummins | Widely specified industrial platform with broad power range. | Exact Cummins engine model, rating, assembly origin, controller, alternator and warranty responsibility. |
| Perkins | Premium engine platform frequently specified for commercial and industrial projects. | Exact Perkins engine, genset assembler, alternator, controls, country of assembly and after-sales support. |
Do not buy by price alone
For a serious project, normalize every quotation to the same technical schedule. Ask each supplier to state prime and standby output, engine model, alternator model, controller, circuit breaker, fuel tank, battery/charger, enclosure, ATS, warranty, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning. A lower headline price can become more expensive once missing scope is added.
What PS Power needs to size and quote correctly
- Load list or recent utility demand data.
- Largest motors, lifts, pumps, compressors or UPS/rectifier loads.
- Three-phase/single-phase requirement and operating voltage.
- Prime, standby or continuous duty requirement.
- Site location, generator-room/open-yard condition and noise requirement.
- Required ATS/synchronization, fuel autonomy and installation scope.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a generator cost in Bangladesh?
Public prices range widely by capacity and configuration. A useful comparison must match kVA, exact engine model, alternator, controller, enclosure, warranty and installation scope.
What is the cheapest industrial generator brand in Bangladesh?
Value-oriented Ricardo and other Chinese-engine platforms often appear at lower public prices than premium Perkins or Cummins configurations, but exact model, build quality and service support should be compared.
Is generator price quoted with ATS and installation?
Not always. Ask the supplier to separate generator set, ATS/switchgear, transport, cabling, exhaust, fuel system, civil work, installation, testing and commissioning.
How do I choose the correct kVA?
Start from a load schedule, then account for diversity, motor starting, UPS/rectifier characteristics, power factor and future growth. Do not size only from the sum of nameplate watts.
Can PS Power quote a specific Cummins, Perkins or Ricardo configuration?
A current quotation requires the desired capacity, application, site conditions and scope. Send those details to PS Power so the offered engine, alternator, controller and enclosure can be stated explicitly.

Market-reference sources reviewed
Public Bangladesh market listings were reviewed on 30 September 2026 to provide context, not a PS Power quotation. Public prices can differ because of engine model, alternator, controller, canopy, rating, origin, stock, exchange rate, tax, warranty and installation scope.
Commercial buying vs project engineering
PS Power owns the price, kVA and generator-buying search intent across the PS network. For projects that require integrated electrical engineering, installation, commissioning, substations or wider critical-power coordination, buyers can also use PS Engineering’s generator-company and project-engineering guide.
Need a current PS Power quotation?
Send the expected load, application, site location, preferred brand if any, required phase/voltage and whether you need ATS, silent canopy, installation or commissioning.
