Adani Group’s entry comes through Praneetha Ecocables Ltd., a 50:50 joint venture between Praneetha Ventures and Adani’s Kutch Copper subsidiary. While specific capex for the cable vertical has not been isolated, Adani’s broader USD 15–20 billion (INR 1.3 lakh crore+) annual investment pipeline in infrastructure, power, and materials implies strong capacity creation potential. With in-house access to copper production and logistics infrastructure, the Group is positioned for aggressive pricing strategies, rapid distribution network rollout, and entry into large-scale institutional supply chains.
The combined entry of these conglomerates is expected to intensify price competition in commoditized segments while pushing the entire industry to raise quality and innovation benchmarks. Their capital strength allows them to achieve scale economies quickly, potentially accelerating consolidation in the sector. For smaller unorganised players, this could mean being squeezed out of high-volume contracts, while for mid-tier companies, it may drive mergers or strategic partnerships.
Preparedness and Effect on Market Leaders
For market leaders such as Polycab, KEI, Havells, RR Kabel, and APAR, the arrival of Adani and Aditya Birla has been met with a dual strategy, i.e., defending existing market share while identifying growth adjacencies. The immediate market reaction was telling: KEI’s stock fell nearly 13 percent, Polycab’s by around 9 percent, Havells India’s by 5–6 percent, and RR Kabel’s by 2 percent, reflecting investor concerns about potential margin pressure.
From the recent quarterly disclosures, these companies are accelerating capital investments and product innovation to defend their positioning. Polycab has already advanced its INR 1,000+ crore capex plan for FY26 to front-load capacity additions, while APAR is targeting niche segments like subsea and offshore cables for diversification. Havells has invested in an expanded R&D center in Noida to speed up safety and performance certification cycles, allowing faster market entry for new products.
Backward integration, from copper rod casting to PVC compounding, is being strengthened to insulate against raw material volatility. Companies are also investing in localized warehouses, faster delivery models, and digital ordering platforms to enhance distributor loyalty.
Global certifications such as TÜV, UL, and BIS compliance are now standard targets, with some companies going further to secure approvals for marine, offshore, and rolling stock applications. These certifications, coupled with heavy investment in testing labs and R&D, act as entry barriers for new players and create export readiness.
While the initial market tremors, evident in the short-term stock corrections, may suggest heightened pressure on incumbents, industry observers note that Adani and Aditya Birla still have significant ground to cover before matching the entrenched capabilities of established leaders. Companies like Polycab, KEI, Havells, RR Kabel, and APAR have spent decades building vast distribution networks, deep supplier relationships, and brand trust, characterized by consistent product quality and regulatory compliance across global markets.
Replicating this scale of operational efficiency and technological competency is a multi-year process, especially in an industry where reliability, safety standards, and after-sales service are decisive competitive factors. Moreover, it is still early to speculate on the real market dynamics until the entrants’ products actually hit the market and demonstrate performance consistency.

Future Growth Projections
Sustained demand and policy support will drive India’s wire and cable industry over the next five years. Building on the robust 7–9 percent CAGR recorded in the last decade, the market is projected by industry research to expand from USD 21.2 billion in 2025 to USD 32.85 billion by 2030, representing an annual growth rate of over nine percent. Unlike the cyclical patterns of earlier decades, the current phase is characterized by a broad “demand stack” in which infrastructure, energy, telecom, urbanization, and emerging mobility requirements generate overlapping order pipelines. This convergence not only ensures stability in demand but also reduces the sector’s vulnerability to slowdowns in any single end-use segment.
In the base growth scenario, continued urbanization, steady renewable capacity additions of 20–25 GW annually, and ongoing investments in digital infrastructure are expected to sustain high single-digit growth. An upside scenario could emerge if electric mobility infrastructure scales more rapidly than anticipated and if Indian manufacturers capture a greater share of global orders under the “China+1” sourcing strategy. Both trends would be further strengthened by trade agreements currently under negotiation and the continued diversification of global supply chains.
Segment-level trends indicate that certain categories will grow at a pace exceeding the industry average. Renewable energy cables are set to benefit from India’s ambition to reach 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, ensuring a long-term requirement for high-voltage XLPE, aluminum alloy conductors, and specialized cabling solutions for solar and wind installations. In the digital infrastructure space, the expansion of BharatNet Phase 3, the nationwide rollout of 5G networks, and the construction of hyperscale data centers will sustain demand for optical fiber cables and related connectivity hardware, including designs adapted to challenging rural and Tier-3 environments.
Urban infrastructure, fueled by the Smart Cities Mission, metro rail expansion, and sustained housing demand, will maintain strong pull for fire-retardant, low-smoke, and hybrid building wires. Electric mobility, while still emerging, presents one of the fastest-growing niches, with targets for widespread adoption by 2030 translating into an estimated two million charging stations and corresponding requirements for high-performance charging and interconnect cables that meet international safety and performance standards.
The export outlook remains equally promising. From a current base of USD 1.3–1.5 billion, cable exports could surpass USD 3 billion by the end of the decade, supported by rising demand for certified, high-specification products in markets such as Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Large Indian manufacturers are positioning themselves for this shift by securing globally recognized certifications and approvals for marine, offshore, and specialized industrial applications, thereby enabling access to premium market segments.
However, the growth path is not without risks. Raw material price volatility in copper and aluminum, delays in large infrastructure projects, and intensified price competition from new, well-capitalized entrants could exert pressure on margins. The planned entry of conglomerates such as Adani and Aditya Birla into the sector may alter competitive dynamics in commoditized product categories, potentially accelerating consolidation. Regulatory changes, particularly in fire safety and environmental standards, could also require significant investment in compliance and testing infrastructure, presenting challenges for mid-tier and smaller manufacturers.
To sustain momentum, market leaders are expanding manufacturing capacity, strengthening backward integration to stabilize costs, and diversifying into higher-value niches such as offshore power transmission and electric vehicle cabling. Investments in R&D and advanced testing capabilities are emerging as critical differentiators, enabling faster certification cycles and responsiveness to evolving customer requirements. If these strategic shifts align with policy continuity and steady end-market demand, India’s wire and cable sector appears poised to evolve from a fast-growing domestic industry into a globally competitive manufacturing and export hub over the next decade.

Its co-location in 2025 with the Tube & Pipe Fair and the inaugural Bharat Metal Expo reflects the increasing interdependence of the industries it serves, with cables, tubes, and metals forming the material backbone of energy, transport, and manufacturing systems. This convergence creates opportunities for buyers and suppliers to address interconnected procurement needs in a single venue, while also enabling cross-sector technology transfer.
Evidence from previous editions points to tangible commercial outcomes. Exhibitor surveys indicate that over 40 percent of participants secured confirmed orders during the event, while more than 30 percent of leads generated translated into business within the following year. For smaller and mid-tier companies, the fair offers cost-effective access to national and export markets; for larger players, it has become a strategic point for launching new products, reinforcing brand leadership, and, in some cases, pre-booking production slots for high-demand items months in advance. International buyers often use the event to assess Indian suppliers first-hand, a step that can lead to long-term contracts or joint ventures, particularly in markets such as Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
Beyond the transactional dimension, CWF serves as a setting for sector-wide dialogue on technology, regulation, and market direction. Its conferences and technical sessions have addressed issues ranging from evolving BIS norms and export compliance requirements to innovations in conductor and insulation technology. The introduction of new machinery, materials, and testing protocols at the fair has often accelerated the industry’s adoption of best practices, whether in extrusion line upgrades or enhanced fire safety measures.
As the sector enters a phase of consolidation and deeper integration with global supply chains, forums like the Cable & Wire Fair provide more than visibility; they function as mechanisms for aligning domestic capabilities with international benchmarks. In doing so, they help ensure that the industry’s projected growth is matched by parallel advances in quality, innovation, and competitiveness.
