Manufacturing industries - Metal Industry

The Indian steel industry has been a critical sector for the country's economic development. It has witnessed significant growth over the years, driven by infrastructure development, urbanisation and a strong demand from various other sectors such as construction, automotive and manufacturing. Government initiatives like Make in India have also played a crucial role in boosting the metal industry, which is poised to grow rapidly in the coming years. The availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost-effective labour have propelled the nation to become one of the world’s leading producers of steel.

In the past few years, the steel industry has been steadily trying to reduce its environmental impact. Being one of the largest consumers of energy, the steel industry has historically been a major producer of greenhouse gas emissions. Indian steel plants have been focusing on improving energy efficiency by adopting new technologies, such as energy-efficient furnaces, and implementing waste heat recovery systems, but there is still much room for improvement.

Wires and cables will play an integral role in this improvement process. Metal manufacturing facilities require robust wires and cables to establish electrical infrastructure. Wires and cables are also a vital part of power transmission and distribution systems. Additionally, communication cables are crucial to establishing communication networks for computers, servers, data exchange, monitoring, and control.

Polycab offers a comprehensive range of products ideally suited for these purposes, such as the LV Power and Control Cable, Festoon Flat Cable, and Flexible Cable. The steel production process involves various stages, including smelting, rolling, and sheet flattening. Throughout these processes, the wires and cables employed must exhibit exceptional heat and pressure resistance. Polycab addresses all these requirements with its offerings, including Elastomeric Cables and Fire Survival Cables.
