EHV cable manufacturing requires sophisticated processes for insulation integrity, oil-paper or XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) dielectric management, and lead\/aluminium armour application that few Indian manufacturers have mastered. KEI&#8217;s EHV cable capability makes it one of perhaps 3 to 4 Indian companies that can supply underground power transmission cables for grid projects.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_KEI_Industries_compare_to_Polycab_India_in_cables\"><\/span><strong>How does KEI Industries compare to Polycab India in cables?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Polycab India is India&#8217;s largest cable company by revenue (Rs 18,000-plus crore) with the strongest retail brand and broadest wiring cable product portfolio including fans and switches. KEI has smaller retail revenue but unique EHV cable capability for infrastructure projects.
