Wire and cable classification :
Wire products used to transmit electrical energy, information and realize electromagnetic energy conversion. In order to facilitate selection and improve product applicability, wire and cable products can be divided into the following five categories according to their uses.
1)Bare wire: refers to products that only have conductors but no insulating layer, including round single wires made of various metals such as copper and aluminum, and composite metals, stranded wires, flexible wires, shaped wires and profiles for overhead transmission lines of various structures.

2)Winding wire: It is an electric wire used to cut magnetic wires of force in a magnetic field in the form of winding to induce current, or to pass current to generate a magnetic field. Therefore, it is also called electromagnetic wire, including enameled wire, wrapped wire, inorganic insulated wire, etc. with various characteristics.

3)Power cable: a cable product used to transmit and distribute high-power electric energy in the trunk lines of the power system, including power cables of various voltage levels and various insulations from 1 to 330 kV and above.

4)Communication cables and communication optical cables: Communication cables are cables for transmitting telephone, telegraph, television, radio, data and other electrical information; communication optical cables use optical fibers (optical fibers) as light wave transmission media to transmit information; radio frequency cables are cables suitable for transmitting radio frequency signals in radio communications, broadcasting and related electronic equipment.


5)Wires and cables for electrical equipment: Wires and cables used to directly transmit electrical energy from the power distribution point of the power system to the power connection lines of various electrical equipment and appliances. This type of product has the widest application and the most varieties, and most of them have to combine the characteristics of the equipment used and the environmental conditions to determine the structure and performance of the product.

Part two, Demand Driver Analysis


1. Infrastructure and new energy policies
The Indian government plans to add 500GW of renewable energy installed capacity by 2025, driving demand for high-voltage cables and photovoltaic cables .
Large infrastructure projects such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor have driven the purchase of metal wire processing equipment.


2. Cost sensitivity and supply chain localization
The price of second-hand equipment is only 30%-50% of new equipment , which attracts small and medium-sized cable companies to purchase.
Indian local cable companies (such as Polycab and Havells) tend to quickly match second-hand equipment through the IndiaMART platform in order to expand production.

3. Technology upgrade and environmental protection requirements
The EU CE certification and India's BIS standard have driven companies to update their testing equipment, increasing the demand for second-hand voltage testing machines.
The transformation of old equipment (such as installing a PLC control system) has become a trend, improving the cost-effectiveness of second-hand equipment.


Part three, Procurement channels and platform dynamics
1. Features of IndiaMART platform transactions
Popular Category Tags : The search keyword "Used Cable Machinery" has an average monthly inquiry volume of over 12,000 times, with copper wire drawing machines and extruders ranking at the top.
Regional distribution : Buyers from Maharashtra (Mumbai) and Gujarat (Ahmedabad) account for more than 60%.


2. Supporting service requirements
70% of buyers require technical documentation (such as electrical drawings, operating manuals) to accompany the equipment.
Third-party inspection services (such as TÜV certification) have become a key factor in transactions, and the inspection fee is approximately 2%-5% of the equipment price.

Part four, Recommendations and Trends
1. Seller strategy
Accurate pricing : refer to IndiaMART's historical transaction data (e.g. the average price of a stranding machine is 800,000 rupees) and make floating quotes based on the equipment status.
Technology upgrade package : provides "equipment + automation transformation" bundled services, with a premium of up to 10%-20%.

2. Buyers’ Focus
Supply chain verification : GST certified sellers are given priority and high-quality suppliers are screened through the IndiaMART "TrustSEAL" logo.
Exhibition linkage : Participate in the 2025 UMEX Second - hand Machinery Exhibition (September 27-29, New Delhi) and directly connect with equipment suppliers.


The above data is compiled from the IndiaMART platform and industry exhibition information. Specific transactions need to be adjusted based on the actual status of the equipment and market fluctuations.
