Logistics and network
Shipping to Nigeria.
Consignments for Nigeria move Sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can Island), then road. Typical transit is 25 to 35 days; discharge at Lagos: Apapa / Tin Can Island; Onne for the Niger Delta. 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 (grid code nominal levels 330, 132, 66, 33 and 11 kV). Distribution is operated by Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the eleven DisCos (Ikeja, Eko, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt and others), regulated by Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC); NEMSA for installation safety. Import conformity: SONCAP: a Product Certificate (PC) and a SONCAP Certificate (SC) issued by a SON-appointed agency before shipment, presented at the port; transformers are a stated SON testing focus.
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.

Specifying
What changes for Nigeria.
- Climate and site: Hot humid coast (Lagos, Port Harcourt) with heavy corrosion exposure; dry Sahel north (Kano) with dust and 45 °C ambient.
- ACSR to IEC 61089 or IS 398 as the specification requires, with galvanized steel core to IS 4826 and heavier zinc coating for coastal lines.
- Drum lengths and drum type to the stringing contractor's requirement; conductor data sheets issued in the utility's format.
- Documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, test certificates and the import conformity certificate where Nigeria requires one.
