Consignments for Uganda move Sea to Mombasa, then road on the Northern Corridor to Kampala, about 1,100 km.

We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Mombasa on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.

Distribution is operated by Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDCL, which took over the Umeme concession in 2025) and UETCL for transmission, regulated by Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA). Import conformity: UNBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC): Certificate of Conformity issued in the country of export for consignments above USD 2,000 FOB.
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.
