Post the expansion, the total annual production capacity for CTC will be 20,490 MT gradually by the 3Q FY26 which will be 3x of current levels.

Manish Agrawal, CEO - Conductor and Telecom division said, "As per National Electricity Plan released in Oct '24, 1,91,474 ckm of transmission lines (from 4,56,716 ckm to 6,48,190 ckm) and 12,74,185 MVA of transformation capacity for 220 kV and above voltage levels (from 10,70,950 MVA to 23,45,135 MVA) are planned to be added during the period 2022-32."

"We are optimistic on the prospects of the transmission segment in India and worldwide. The proposed expansion will augment our existing market penetration in the CTC segment.
