Logistics and network
Supplying Bihar.
Deliveries across Bihar start at about 1200 km by road, which puts the nearer cities (Muzaffarpur, Patna, Gaya) within 5 days of dispatch. The state's demand centres on Patna and Hajipur industrial areas, Begusarai refinery and fertiliser, Muzaffarpur and Bhagalpur textiles.
Distribution in Bihar is handled by NBPDCL and SBPDCL; BSPTCL runs the transmission network. Programmes now in execution include RDSS, Har Ghar Bijli, and each is tendered against a technical specification that we quote and manufacture to.
ACSR is the workhorse of Indian overhead distribution and transmission. It is also one of the two products that lets us quote a complete line package — tower, conductor, pole and transformer — rather than a part of one.
The table below is the IS 398 (Part 2) basis we manufacture and test against. One caution worth stating plainly: IS 398 Part 5 publishes the same codewords with resistance around 2–3% lower and breaking loads 2–3% higher. Mixing rows from the two parts is the easiest way for a utility QA engineer to catch an error, so we quote Part 2 throughout and say so.
