Logistics and network
Supplying Sikkim.
Deliveries across Sikkim start at about 1520 km by road, which puts the nearer cities (Namchi, Gangtok) within 6 days of dispatch. The state's demand centres on Gangtok, pharmaceutical units at Rangpo and Namthang, hydro projects.
Distribution in Sikkim is handled by Energy and Power Department, Sikkim; Energy and Power Department runs the transmission network. Programmes now in execution include RDSS, 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.
