Exploration industries - Mining Drilling and Tunneling
The mining, drilling, and tunnelling industry in India plays a crucial role in the country’s infrastructure and development. It also plays a vital role in the nation’s economy, carrying out a range of projects which include the setting up of hydropower units, enhancement of public transport systems in cities, upgrading of railways and road connections, and building of water supply and sewage networks. Due to a rise in the number of these projects, the industry has experienced significant growth in the past few years.
The industry has also seen positive growth owing to developments in other industries such as renewable energy, water supply and rail and road transport. However, the biggest factor driving this growth has been a rise in demand for minerals and metals. With the coal sector at its centre, the industry plans to modernize its equipment and technology. The planned growth and enhancement of the mining industry will also be sustainable and environment friendly.
On its growing trajectory, the industry demands wires and cables that are durable, reliable, and resilient, as they are crucial for various applications such as power distribution, communication, instrumentation and control. This industry often works in harsh environments where high temperatures, humidity, dust and vibrations persist. Therefore, having specialized wires and cables designed for these conditions is crucial. To this end, Polycab offers tailored wiring and cable solutions, such as our Heat-resistant Wire, Rubber Cable, VFD cable, and Servo Cable.
Our cables are designed to withstand abrasion, impact, vibration, tension and contact with mud and soil. They are made to operate in the harshest conditions and can endure exposure to oil, grease and water as well. We also offer a comprehensive selection of power and control cables manufactured in compliance with standards such as IS 14494, IEEE-1580, VDE-0250, SANS 1520 and AS/NZS-1802. These cables are made to be used for both underground and open-pit mining.
