Logistics and network
Shipping to Nepal.
Consignments for Nepal move By road from Haryana through the Sunauli or Raxaul-Birgunj border, about 1,100 to 1,300 km, 4 to 6 days door to door; sea-land via Kolkata or Visakhapatnam for containerised cargo. Typical transit is road: 4 to 6 days; sea via Kolkata: 10 to 14 days; discharge at Birgunj dry port (Sirsiya ICD) or direct road delivery. We quote Ex Factory, FOB Kolkata or delivered-at-border on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, INR or USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution with 33/11 kV substations; 66 kV and 132 kV sub-transmission. Distribution is operated by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), regulated by Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC). Import conformity: NEA technical specifications and type-test certificates; Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology (NBSM) for marked products.
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.
