Nirmal is investing in smart cable infrastructure to enhance efficiency

The electrical and power industry is growing, and states are showcasing high levels of demand for various inputs for power generation—the future is bright. Let us know more from Nirmal Saraf.

How do smart and green cables enhance sustainable power transmission efficiency?

With technological advances increasing electricity consumption recently, smart cables have become a solution for efficient and safe power transmission. They minimise energy waste and integrate features like dynamic grid optimisation, cybersecurity, and renewable energy integration, making them an essential part of smart grid systems. They also have built-in communication systems that facilitate seamless power consumption monitoring and allow for real-time load management and fault detection. Green cables, on the other hand, withstand temperatures reaching upwards of 100 degrees Celsius. They are durable and reliable as they comply with RoHS and REACH standards. Low smoke density and lower levels of toxic emissions make them a safer choice in case of accidents. Their quality and performance standards demonstrate commitment towards sustainability. Such cables can help establish a smart and efficient power delivery system and ensure they are manufactured using environmentally sustainable materials. 

How can manufacturers balance innovation and sustainability while meeting regulatory standards?

Manufacturers are investing heavily in compliance measures, R&D testing and certifications. Subsequently, emphasis is also being placed on using eco-friendly materials like lead-free and PVC-free insulation and efficient means of production, which minimise environmental impact and reduce wastage. Hence, manufacturers must prioritise innovation, quality assurance, and environmental sustainability to stay competitive in this evolving market. Investing in research, sustainable materials and production methods can help meet consumers’ changing needs and differentiate from competition. Implementing robust quality control measures and obtaining necessary certifications can enhance product reliability and build customer trust. 

How can smart cable infrastructure enhance power delivery and consumer satisfaction in India?

Smart grids are a new concept in India. A major portion of the current power delivery system relies heavily on outdated infrastructure and traditional power delivery methods. Investing in a smart cable infrastructure can increase power output quality by ensuring stable and efficient delivery. Smart grids also help easily monitor consumption and breakdowns and require minimal maintenance since they adhere to rigid quality standards. This translates to increased consumer satisfaction and reduced costs, ultimately improving market standing. For us at Nirmal, this means more opportunities to invest, innovate and deliver cost-effective and technology-forward solutions. With our current offerings in the cable industry, namely AB Cables, Power Cables & Service Cables, this shines a light on the path forward.  

What strategies can manufacturers adopt to ensure cable quality amid supply chain disruptions?

The cable solutions segment in India has been significantly impacted by various supply chain disruptions, which have had significant effects on various aspects of the industry. Increased output costs, delayed deliveries, and reduced production capacity have been among the most prominent consequences. This has also raised concerns about the quality of the cables being produced. Such challenges also compel manufacturers to increase inventory, leading to higher inventory holding costs. 

Despite such challenges, the Indian cable market continues to experience revenue growth driven by several factors. Infrastructure development projects such as expanding power grids and telecommunication networks drive cable demand. Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation are creating new opportunities for cable solutions. Government initiatives promoting infrastructure development and improving connectivity provide a favourable environment for the power cable industry.
