The electrical industry is evolving rapidly, prioritising energy efficiency and sustainability through advanced cable technologies. Green cables, utilising eco-friendly materials, enhance safety and minimise environmental impact, while smart cables integrate sensors for real-time monitoring and optimised power distribution. This shift aligns with global sustainability goals, such as India's 2030 target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity.

Companies like Polycab actively contribute to this transition by investing in high-efficiency XLPE cables and integrating loT capabilities for enhanced energy management and predictive maintenance. This focus on innovation is driven by increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions and robust infrastructure development. Bhushan Sawhney from Polycab India shares his insights on these developments with EPR.

How do green and smart cables improve energy efficiency and align with sustainability goals?

The electrical industry increasingly prioritises energy efficiency and loss reduction through green and smart cables.

These advanced cables utilise materials and technologies that minimise resistance and transmission losses. Green cables, composed of halogen-free, fire-retardant and low-smoke materials, are ideal for urban infrastructure where safety and environmental concerns are paramount.
