Polycab brings utility-grade solar inverters

Technology providers, cable manufacturers and utilities need to collaborate closely; without this alignment, progress cannot happen.

With the surge in renewable energy, nuclear expansion, and the growing need for advanced infrastructure, the wires and cables sector is evolving rapidly. Industry leaders like Polycab are not only supplying products but also delivering integrated solutions, ranging from high-voltage cables and conductors to solar inverters. Anurag Agarwal shares insights about the industry and Polycab strategies in an exclusive interview with EPR.

How is Polycab transitioning from a product-focused company to a solution-oriented provider with cables, conductors, and solar inverters?

Polycab has traditionally focused on product manufacturing and supply, but we are now transitioning towards a solution-oriented approach. In the cable segment, we are introducing high-voltage accessories as part of our new offerings. As part of this solutioning approach, we will provide certified Polycab jointers to handle jointing, termination, and laying work using our cables and jointing kits. Unlike current warranties of two to three years, we aim to extend cable warranties up to 20 years, reflecting the comprehensive end-to-end solution we are offering.
