The ongoing growth in renewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind, is creating significant demand for cables and wires across various sectoRs Investments in coal-based thermal power, along with infrastructure development in transmission and distribution led by government initiatives, are crucial to support this demand. Additionally, rising energy needs from industries such as data centers, manufacturing, and electric vehicles are further increasing the need for cables and wires. Infrastructure projects in railways, metro rails, and highways also add to this growing demand. For balanced growth, power generation and infrastructure development must progress together, driving the need for cables and wires. Result PDF
