They sit at the intersection of three mega trends in the Indian economy – urbanization, electrification and digitization.”“More than 100 million new homes over the next decade, expanding energy infrastructure, and the rapid rise of data centers are poised to fuel a boom in the category. Our distinctive advantage comes from a deep understanding of the product, its underlying components and the adjacent ecosystems,” he added.

Our plan is to reach more than one lakh retailers and further activate availability through over 5,000 UltraTech Building Solutions (UBS) outlets.”The company has set up a new manufacturing facility at Jhagadia in Bharuch district, Gujarat. It has launched a portfolio of home wires, flexible wires, and cables designed for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
