The power sector is seeing a surge in demand for cables and conductors, driven particularly by growth in reÂneÂwable energy. The increasing growth of solar energy has led to a spike in deÂmand for both […]
The exponential growth of renewables, characterised by bidirectional flows as well as intermittency, coupled with rising capacity, is expected to drive utilities to invest in reconductoring and uprating transmission lines over the next few years. […]
The government’s focus on ensuring universal access to electricity has been a major driver in the rapid expansion of the domestic cables and conductors industry over the past few years. The government’s initiatives in the […]
Cables and conductors are among the most essential components of a power transmission and distribution (T&D) network. The cables industry has started gaining momentum after a downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic, driven mainly by […]
Today, power utilities are focusing on reconductoring and uprating transmission lines, driven by increasing network constraints and demands for high availability and capacity. There is a growing need to augment and strengthen the transmission network […]
The transmission sector in the country has grown significantly in the past few years. As of October 2021, the total transmission line length in the country stood at 450,552 ckt. km (220 kV and above). […]
Cables are among the most essential components of a power transmission and distribution (T&D) network. In order to ensure reliable power supply across regions and to consumers, T&D utilities are taking steps to deploy new […]
The central government has launchÂed several programmes over the years for the power sector, particularly the distribution segment. ProgramÂmes such as the Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) and the Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) […]
The cables and conductors industry has gained momentum after a doÂwnÂturn due to the Covid-19 pandeÂmic last year, driven mainly by the exÂpansion of the transmission and distribution (T&D) network. A key driver behiÂnd further […]
Cables and conductors are crucial elements of a transmission and distribution (T&D) network. The cable and conductor market in India has witnessed strong growth over the past few years on the back of expansions in […]
Large-scale transmission of power is the need of the hour in light of the growing renewable energy capacity, which is targeted to reach 175 GW by 2022. However, the expansion and augmentation of the transmission […]
Underground cabling plays a crucial role in providing 24×7 reliable power supply. It offers a host of benefits such as resilience in severe weather conditions, ease of network expansion in densely populated areas and protection […]
The demand for wires and cables depends largely on the capex undertaken by end-user industries and investments made for infrastructure development. One of the key focus areas for the government has been the electrification of […]
Cables and conductors are the most vital component of a power transmission network. The faults in electrical systems are unavoidable, but it is essential that they undergo routine maintenance in order to ensure the reliability […]
The development and strengthening of the country’s transmission and distribution (T&D) network has always been a key focus area. To this end, a number of government initiatives and programmes have been undertaken such as the […]
Advanced design and technology trends in cables and conductors are centred on reducing the right-of-way (RoW) requirement as well as increasing the current-carrying capacity of transmission lines. As space is often constrained in urban areas, […]
There is a growing emphasis on developing a robust transmission and distribution (T&D) network in the country in the backdrop of rising demand for reliable power, large-scale grid integration of intermittent renewable energy and the […]
Lowering its fuel cost burden has been one of the key focus areas of Indian Railways. In view of the huge cost savings possible from transitioning to electric traction, Indian Railways has intensified its focus […]
The need to replace ageing and obsolete transmission and distribution infrastructure, high investments, right-of-way constraints and long gestation periods involved in building new networks have brought to the fore the concept of reconductoring. It refers […]
