Logistics and network
Supplying Lakshadweep.
Deliveries across Lakshadweep start at about 2570 km by road, which puts the nearer cities (Kavaratti) within 9 days of dispatch. The state's demand centres on Kavaratti, island solar and diesel grids.
Distribution in Lakshadweep is handled by Electricity Department, Lakshadweep; Electricity Department runs the transmission network. Programmes now in execution include Island solar programme, and each is tendered against a technical specification that we quote and manufacture to.
LT cable was the second product line the business added, back when it made only poles. It is now a 1,000 kilometre a month operation, and it underpins the underground cable work we are known for in the field.
Because we lay cable as well as make it, the specification we manufacture to is the one we then have to install, joint and commission ourselves. That tends to concentrate the mind on the things that matter — insulation wall consistency, armour quality and drum handling.
