Logistics and network
Supplying Gujarat.
Deliveries across Gujarat start at about 860 km by road, which puts the nearer cities (Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad) within 4 days of dispatch. The state's demand centres on Mundra and Kandla ports, Ahmedabad and Vadodara engineering, Surat textiles and diamonds, Jamnagar refinery, Kutch solar and wind parks, Dahej and Hazira petrochemicals.
Distribution in Gujarat is handled by PGVCL, UGVCL, MGVCL and DGVCL under GUVNL, with Torrent Power in Ahmedabad and Surat; GETCO runs the transmission network. Programmes now in execution include RDSS, Khavda renewable park, GIFT City, 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.
