Cablerporation of India

What Cablerporation of India does

Cable Corporation of India Limited, founded in 1957 in Mumbai, is one of India's oldest and most established electric cable manufacturers. The company designs and produces PVC, XLPE, and EHV power cables spanning 660V to 500kV from two manufacturing plants in Nashik (a dedicated EHV plant and an LT/HT plant), and is the first Indian firm to manufacture PVC cables and to type-test 220kV XLPE cables at KEMA Netherlands. Its technology base rests on successive licensing partnerships with Siemens (1957), F&G (1957), Mitsubishi Cable Industries (1989, MDCV process), Sumitomo Electric (2000), and Tecnikabel.

The company operates a dual revenue model combining cable hardware sales with professional turnkey project execution — including supply, laying, jointing, and commissioning — for utility and industrial customers. Marquee clients span central and state power utilities (PGCIL, NTPC, TNEB, KSEB, MSEB), large industrial groups (Tata Power, Reliance Energy, Tata Steel, BHEL, BPCL, RINL-VSP), and IT services campuses (TCS, Infosys, Wipro). An export channel serves South Africa, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Kuwait, Singapore, and Sri Lanka, with 350+ km of EHV cable projects executed over the past 25 years. The Hiten Khatau family remains the continuing promoter on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and the company has diversified into real estate through subsidiary CCI Projects Private Limited, which is developing the Rivali Park project in Mumbai with a Rs 1,000 crore investment.
