Group Nirmal shares its journey of growth and innovation at wire Southeast Asia 2025

The Indian wire and cable industry has entered a period of unprecedented expansion, valued at over INR 1.7 trillion (19.2 billion USD) in FY24—more than doubling in just 5 years. Forecasts project 11–13% annual growth through FY29, driven by infrastructure investments and rising demand across power transmission, railways, metro projects, construction, and renewable integration. India is steadily emerging as a global sourcing hub for high-quality, high-performance products.

This growth spans the entire value chain, with increasing requirements for steel wires, aluminum conductors, and power cables, all of which play a vital role in strengthening grids, powering industries, and enabling infrastructure. Despite challenges such as raw material volatility and competition, long-term trends like electrification, urbanization, and renewable integration provide a strong foundation for sustainable progress.

As part of this evolving landscape, Group Nirmal will be participating in wire Southeast Asia 2025 from 17–19 September in Bangkok, Thailand to share recent growth, showcase its latest solutions designed to support changing industry needs and engage with visitors and experts to explore opportunities for collective growth.

Strengthening capabilities, expanding horizons

In response to market demands, Group Nirmal has implemented a growth strategy with this industry-wide surge. Over the last year, the company expanded its operations through the acquisition of two new units: an aluminum conductor plant in Khordha, Odisha, and Cee Dee Metalloys in Bangalore, a specialist in zinc metallizing products and solutions.

These strategic additions have significantly broadened the Group’s product portfolio, enabling it to offer a new generation of aluminum alloy rods and conductors such as AL-59, ACAR, AACSR, ACSS, and 6xxx, in addition to zinc and zinc–aluminum wires and rods for advanced metallizing applications.

Group Nirmal’s annual revenue has surpassed ₹2000 crores (INR), fueled by robust domestic demand and a growing international footprint. The company has also obtained the prestigious JIS certification for its GI wires, which stands as proof of its commitment to consistent global quality standards.

Looking ahead, Group Nirmal is launching a ₹100 crore (INR) capex plan to boost production: 7,000 tons per month of steel wire and 5,000 tons per month of aluminum wire capacity will be added within the fiscal year. The expansion focuses on the Khordha and Deulti units to better serve key sectors including power, construction, agriculture, fencing, railways, and general engineering.

Responding to industry shifts

The wire and cable industry is transitioning from commodity-based products to specialized, value-added solutions. Demand is increasingly concentrated around high-performance conductors, specialized steel wires, and coated variants designed for durability, efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

Aluminum conductors are evolving toward higher-grade variants such as AL-59, ACAR, and AACSR, which offer enhanced conductivity, strength, and sag resistance—critical for high-voltage, long-distance applications. At the same time, steel wire demand is moving toward niche segments like low-relaxation prestressed concrete strands for bridges, high-fatigue stay wires, and zinc–aluminum coated solutions for railway fencing and overhead systems.

To meet these emerging needs, Group Nirmal is investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, R&D, and production upgrades to ensure optimal product performance and reliability. The company is also reinforcing its ESG strategy by adopting cleaner and more efficient production methods to reduce its environmental footprint.

Looking ahead: a future of sustainable growth

The future of India’s wire and cable industry lies in specialization, sustainability, and deeper global integration. As electrification expands, urban transit projects scale up, and infrastructure becomes more sophisticated, demand will increasingly focus on advanced, eco-conscious solutions.

Group Nirmal is poised to lead this transformation. With expanded capacity, a diversified and future-ready product mix, and global certifications in hand, the company is well-positioned to address both current and emerging market demands. Its long-term vision is to empower infrastructure and industry with innovative, durable, and sustainable solutions that stand the test of time. wire Southeast Asia 2025 offers an ideal platform to share this vision. For Group Nirmal, the event is more than just an exhibition—it is a space to connect, collaborate, and demonstrate how the company is helping shape the future of wires, cables, and conductors in India and globally.

Visitors are invited to explore the company’s latest innovations at Booth M05, Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), from September 17 to 19, 2025.
