July 2025

For rail networks, the firm focuses on delivering durable, high-performance power cables specifically engineered to meet the demands of traction and signalling systems, with safety and reliability at the forefront.

WAACAB gearing up to meet railway electrification, EV charging demands

WAACAB is actively expanding its manufacturing capabilities to meet the rising demand for power cables in India. Virali Shah explains the company's increased plant capacity and upgraded production lines, which aim to enhance both speed and product quality. The in-house R&D team is developing new cable types tailored to emerging needs in renewable energy systems, urban distribution and EV charging infrastructure. Let us hear from her.

How is WAACAB leveraging digital upgrades and eco-friendly materials to enhance cable quality and reliability?

At WAACAB, digital tools have improved every step of our process. When designing cables, we utilise computer-aided software to ensure the dimensions and insulation are precisely correct before creating any prototypes. This precision reduces trial and error, helping us deliver consistent, high-quality products. In our manufacturing facilities, automated controls and digital quality checks alert us to any issues early, ensuring production stays smooth and error-free. Even before a cable reaches the customer, we already know it meets our performance standards, meaning fewer surprises, faster deliveries and more reliable installations in smart-city and solar energy projects.
