Logistics and network
Shipping to Ghana.
Consignments for Ghana move Sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Tema, then road. Typical transit is 25 to 35 days; discharge at Tema; Takoradi for the west. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 415/240 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution (34.5 kV in NEDCo northern areas); 161 kV and 330 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the south, NEDCo in the north, GRIDCo for transmission, regulated by Energy Commission and PURC. Import conformity: Ghana Standards Authority EasyPASS conformity assessment, mandatory for electrical equipment (HS 85) shipped from 1 July 2026; GSA inspection at Tema before customs release.
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.
