APAR Industries Limited, a global leader in conductor manufacturing, announced plans to significantly enhance its Continuous Transposed Conductor (CTC) production capacity. The company aims to achieve a total annual capacity of 20,490 MT by Q3 FY26, tripling its current levels.

The proposed expansion comes in response to the increasing demand for transmission infrastructure, fueled by India's National Electricity Plan (NEP) and global energy transition initiatives.

Key Investment Details

• Current Capacity: 7,350 MT per annum
• Proposed Addition: 7,980 MT per annum
• Expected Capacity Post Expansion: 20,490 MT per annum
• Investment Required: ₹72.55 crore
• Mode of Financing: Internal accruals and debt
• Timeline: Capacity to be added gradually until Q3 FY26

This strategic move reflects APAR's commitment to strengthening its market presence in the power transmission segment, both in India and globally.

Demand Drivers

The expansion aligns with the National Electricity Plan (October 2024), which outlines:

• 1,91,474 ckm of transmission line additions (from 4,56,716 ckm to 6,48,190 ckm).
• 12,74,185 MVA increase in transformation capacity for voltage levels of 220 kV and above (from 10,70,950 MVA to 23,45,135 MVA).

This ambitious plan underscores the growing need for advanced conductors and related equipment, driven by:

• Increased government prioritization of power infrastructure.
• Rising investments in renewable energy transmission.
• Expanding global demand for efficient power solutions.
