The History of subject is as old as electric cable manufacturing in India! It dates back to 1956 when the Indian promoters M/s. Thakerseys and Khataus and German promoters and M/s. Siemens joined hands and put forward the idea of setting up a PVC power cable factory to manufacture PVC insulated and sheathed cables and wires in India for the first time.

 

M/s Siemens, Germany, were to provide technical know-how for the project, started the planning of the cable factory in Neustadt, Cobvig, West Germany. Simultaneously in India, formalities were being pursued with various authorities at various levels to get industrial license to set up a cable plant in Bombay, Maharashtra. M/s. Siemens were to look after the technical needs of the cable plant and management of the factory for the initial 15 years whereas financial needs, government and Semi government, local and municipal formalities were to be taken care of by Indian promoters.

 

The company was officially incorporated and registered in the first week of November 1957, with a share capital of Rs. 10 Millions (15.6% each was subscribed by the house of Khataus, house of Thackerseys, house of Siemens and Felten and Guileume, 20% preference share by Life Insurance Corporation of India and balance of 17.6% by the friends of the promoters).

 

For putting up the cable plant in India, Siemens, Germany selected a team of 12 Germans from their two cable factories. A core team of people was brought to India to erect and commission the plant and machinery.

 

The land was selected in distant suburb of Borivali, which was bought in May 1957. Borivali is to the north of the city of Mumbai. The considerations in establishing to the extreme North of Bombay were availability of adequate land for future growth, a perceived movement of infrastructures and facilities to support educated and skilled manpower in an environment of natural greenery of jungles charged with fresh ambient. The factory of Cable Corporation of India occupies 150000 sq. Mts. and all manufacturing activity is done under one roof.

 

The factory consists of two halls- factory hall –I and II. Hall I housed the PVC and rubber compounding plants, wire drawings, conductor and core stranding, Paper/PVC Insulation, Impregnation, Lead sheathing, Armouring units and test field factory.

 

Hall II housed then the continuous casting and rolling mill for manufacture of aluminum rods out of aluminum ingots and manufacturing facility for airport lighting cables, switchboard wires and flexible.

 

A new plant had been installed and commissioned for the manufacturing of Cross linked polyethylene cable, which also housed other facilities like electrical and mechanical workshop, chemical laboratory, drumshop building, vehicle repair shop, boiler houses, pump house, plumbing shop, labour and welfare center, a canteen and despatch building.

 

Production at the factory covers a wide range of cables, paper insulated lead sheathed cables, TROPODUR heavy-duty cables, TROPODUR light duty cables wire and flexible. TROPODUR cables for special duties, mining cables, screened signaling cables, airport, lighting cables and TROPOTHEN –X cross-linked polyethylene cables.

Another plant primarily engaged in manufacturing of PVC cables and LT XLPE cables was established in March 1997 at Nashik, near Mumbai in Maharashtra.

 

Over the years subject has grown. Today the wide range of cables it manufactures is synonymous with experience and quality, thus bringing power to the people!

 

The company played a leading role in the import substitution and was also the first in India to take up substitution of aluminium as conductor material in cables in place of copper. It had worked successfully with railway authorities of India, the defence authorities etc. to develop special types of cables. It has also taken an active part in developing various standards for electric cables and wires and represented in BIS committees. Research and Development was taken up a big way catering to finest facilities needs for development and for serving national and international clientele. is recognized by Dept of Science and Technology, Govt. of India and is supported by a strong team of highly qualified technical personnel.

 

The Company grew from strength to strength and after 40 years of eventful existence, the company occupies a leading position in the industry today for quality products.
