Cable Corporation of India Ltd.

COMPANY PROFILE

Year 1957, when formal international joint ventures were unheard of, The Khatau and Thakersey groups, already renowned names in Indian industry, joined hands with German promoters Siemens and F & G and set up a power cable factory. The new venture commenced operations in Mumbai and began with the manufacture of PVC insulated wire and cables for the first time in India. Three and a half decades later, a second plant was set up at Nashik in Maharashtra. Today, Cable Corporation of India (CCI) is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of power and control cables.

CCI is equipped with state-of-the-art hardware, software and infrastructure to retain its leadership position in the industry. Besides being a household name in the manufacture of high quality cables, the management has played a key role in influencing major decisions and embarking on innovative solutions. Its strong vision, emphasis on team work and customer satisfaction, has earned it repute in international industry circles. Over the years, CCI was represented in CIGRE, Paris and other forums like BIS, IEEMA etc. Its Tropothen-S® XLPE cables have received IEC-840 Certification from KEMA, Netherlands; its testing laboratories have been approved by the South African Standards Institution for electrical items exported to that country; the company is ISO-9001 certified and has exported its products to markets in South Africa, Bangladesh, Mauritius & Middle East.

CCI's technocrats were one of the first in India to use Aluminium as a substitute for Copper as a conducting material in their cables. They have worked with the Railway and Defense authorities to manufacture special types of cables. Research and development have always been high on their agenda, and they have helped develop industry standards for electric cables and wires.

The company's range of products includes power and control cables ranging from 660 V to 230 KV, marketed as Tropodur, Tropothen, Tropothen-S®, Tropoflex, Tropoplast and Tropotherm brands. CCI also manufactures specialty cables like HVDC cables, mining cables and aerial bunched cables. CCI was the First Company in India to manufacture and supply Extra High Voltage cables of 220 KV way back in 1994.

As part of its expansion and diversification process, the group has now ventured into the real estate sector through its associate company, CCI Projects Private Limited (CCP). CCP has launched its first project called Rivali Park at Borivali East in Mumbai. Spread over an area of 22 acres with a planned investment of Rs 1000 crore, Rivali Park is one of the largest mixed-use real estate spaces in Mumbai and is expected to redefine the suburb of Borivali.

Since the Indian cable industry is largely unorganized, there are a lot of opportunities for companies like CCI to set benchmark standards. With its excellent quality products and services, it now has its sights trained on making new inroads in domestic and international markets.

History

The History of Cable Corporation of India Ltd. is as old as electric cable manufacturing in India. It dates back to 1957 when two Indian business groups, Thackerseys and Khataus, joined hands with two German companies Siemens and F&G and established a PVC power cable factory, to manufacture PVC insulated and sheathed cables and wires in India for the first time. Conceived as a joint venture, Siemens provided the technical know-how, whilst the Khatau group was responsible for the day to day management of the company.

In May 1957, land was bought for the factory in Borivali, a distant northern suburb of Mumbai. A state of the art factory was established in this locale and all manufacturing activity was conducted under one roof.

Production at the factory covered a wide range of cables - paper insulated lead sheathed cables, PVC heavy-duty cables, PVC light duty cable wires, flexible wires, PVC cables for special applications, mining cables, screened signalling cables, airport lighting cables, XLPE cables and Extra High Voltage cables.

In March 1997, another plant primarily engaged in the production of Low Voltage (LT) cables was established at Nashik, Maharashtra. This plant was later expanded to manufacture medium voltage and High Voltage (HT) cables. In 2009, CCI setup their second plant in Nashik, for the production of Extra High Voltage (EHV) Cables up to 500kV. CCI has a leadership position in the EHV market in India.

Presently, two units - the EHV Plant & LT/HT plant - are operating from Nashik. The Borivali factory has closed down and is shifted toNashik.

CCI was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange with the Hiten Khatau group being the only continuing Promoter.

Over the years Cable Corporation of India Ltd. has grown from strength to strength. Today the wide range of cables it manufactures is synonymous with experience and quality, thus continually 'bringing power to the people'.
