Increasing Investments in Power Infrastructure and Grid Modernization
The India power cables market is witnessing substantial growth due to rising investments in power infrastructure and grid modernization. With the Indian government’s focus on strengthening transmission and distribution networks, the demand for high-quality power cables is increasing across urban and rural regions. Initiatives such as the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) and Green Energy Corridor projects are driving large-scale installations of high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power cables to enhance grid reliability. For instance, in November 2024, the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) announced sanction of projects worth INR 2.77 lakh crore for loss reduction and smart metering, with 17% physical progress. Additionally, the push for smart grid technology is accelerating the adoption of fiber-optic power cables for improved monitoring and automation. Moreover, rising investments in underground cable networks in urban areas, aimed at minimizing power losses and improving aesthetics, are fueling market growth. With private and public sector collaborations boosting infrastructure projects, the demand for durable, high-performance power cables is expected to remain strong, ensuring efficient energy transmission across India.
Expansion of Renewable Energy and Demand for Specialized Cables
The rapid expansion of renewable energy projects is creating significant demand for specialized power cables in India. As the country aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, solar and wind energy projects are scaling up, driving the need for high-efficiency, weather-resistant power cables. For instance, in March 2025, India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) announced the acquisition of the clean energy company PTC Energy for ₹9.25 billion ($106 million). PTC Energy operates 288 MW of wind capacity across three states, which aims to support India’s target of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Solar farms require DC solar cables that can withstand extreme temperatures and UV exposure, while wind power installations need flexible, high-durability cables to handle mechanical stress and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, the integration of battery storage systems with renewable power plants is leading to an increased need for high-performance energy storage cables that can manage fluctuating loads. Hybrid power cable solutions, combining electrical and fiber-optic components for data transmission, are also gaining traction in smart renewable installations. As India continues expanding its solar parks, offshore wind projects, and hybrid energy systems, the market for specialized power cables is set to grow, ensuring efficient transmission and long-term reliability of green energy infrastructure.
