Universal Cables Limited (UCL), one of India’s leading manufacturers of power cables and conductors, has approved a Manufacturing Agreement with TS Conductor Corp, a globally renowned provider of advanced High Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) conductor technology. This strategic collaboration marks a significant step in strengthening India’s power transmission infrastructure through the adoption of next-generation conductor solutions.
Under the approved agreement, Universal Cables Limited will manufacture HTLS conductors in India using TS Conductor’s proven technology and technical know-how. HTLS conductors are designed to carry substantially higher current at elevated temperatures while maintaining low sag characteristics, making them ideal for uprating existing transmission lines and supporting the growing demand for reliable and efficient power transmission.
The partnership aligns with UCL’s long-term strategy to expand its portfolio of high-value, technology-driven products and to cater to the evolving requirements of utilities, transmission companies, and infrastructure developers. By leveraging TS Conductor Corp’s proprietary technology and UCL’s established manufacturing capabilities, the collaboration aims to deliver world-class HTLS conductors that meet stringent global performance and quality standards.
The manufacturing agreement supports the Government of India’s initiatives such as “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” promoting indigenous manufacturing, technology transfer, and reduced dependence on imports in critical infrastructure sectors. Local manufacturing of HTLS conductors is expected to enhance supply chain resilience, improve cost competitiveness, and create skilled employment opportunities within the country.
HTLS conductors manufactured under this agreement will be suitable for a wide range of applications, including reconductoring of existing transmission lines, capacity enhancement of congested corridors, and development of new high-capacity transmission networks. The solution is particularly relevant for integrating renewable energy from remote generation sites into the national grid.
With this approval, Universal Cables Limited reinforces its commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainable growth, while TS Conductor Corp strengthens its global footprint through strategic partnerships. Together, the two companies aim to contribute meaningfully to the modernization and efficiency of India’s power transmission infrastructure.
Universal Cables Limited is a leading Indian manufacturer of power cables and conductors, serving utilities, EPC contractors, and industrial customers across domestic and international markets. TS Conductor Corp is a global technology company specializing in advanced HTLS conductor solutions designed to enhance transmission capacity and grid reliability.
