The electrical cables and wires segment of the industry constitutes 40-45% of the electrical equipment industry in India, which constitutes 8% of the manufacturing sector in terms of value, and 1.5% of the overall GDP in fiscal 2018.

Wires and cables industry in India, in value terms, has grown at a CAGR of approximately 11% in the last five years to reach Rs 525 billion in Fiscal 2018 and expect to expand at a CAGR of approximately 15% in value terms to reach approximately Rs 1,033 billion by Fiscal 2023.

Investments in power transmission projects, execution of solar and wind energy projects, metro rail projects, and increased household spending have all led to an increase in demand for power and building wires and cables. Further, growth in the industrial sector has resulted in increased demand for flexible cables and wires and control and instrumentation cables.
