Top 10 best-selling cable varieties and price trends in the Indian market (updated in 2025)

2025-04-09

According to industry knowledge, common cables in India include power cables (low voltage, medium voltage), control cables, communication cables (optical fiber, coaxial), building wires (PVC insulation), solar cables, etc. In addition, there may be specific demand for water-blocking cables and fire-resistant cables, especially for infrastructure and energy projects.

In terms of price, material costs (copper, aluminum), certification requirements (ISI, BIS) and tariffs need to be considered. Suppliers may include local manufacturers such as Polycab, Havells, and local distributors of international brands.

600/1000V IEC 60502 standard PVC insulation, PVC sheath, non-armored power cable (single core)

application

IEC 60502-1 600/1000V PVC insulated, PVC sheathed non-armoured power cables are mainly used for fixed installation in industrial areas, buildings and similar applications but not directly buried in the ground or in pipelines. This type of cable has been certified by TUV.

Cable structure

conductor

Annealed copper conductor in accordance with IEC 60228 Class 2.

insulation

Complies with standard IEC 60502-1 PVC/A.

Outer sheath

Conforms to standard IEC 60502-1 extruded PVC type ST1/ST2.

Outer sheath optional

Can provide UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, rodent resistance, termite resistance and other properties. Compliance with fire protection standards (IEC60332-1, IEC60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666, etc.) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided according to customer requirements.

What is liquid-cooled supercharging

Liquid-cooled supercharging is to set up a special liquid circulation channel between the cable and the charging gun, add liquid coolant to the channel for heat dissipation, and promote the circulation of the coolant through a power pump, so as to bring out the heat generated during the charging process and reduce the cable temperature. Compared with the traditional air cooling system, the liquid cooling system has more sufficient cooling performance and is more efficient, which greatly improves the working efficiency and life of the charging system.

application

The application mode of oil-cooled charging cable is mainly used to connect the charging equipment of electric vehicles to the charging infrastructure, thereby providing fast power transmission for electric vehicles, and equipped with a certain number of signal and control lines to ensure accurate control and safe and error-free operation of the entire charging process. The structure of oil-cooled charging cable is mainly composed of power main core, ground wire, signal wire or shielded wire group, return pipe, filler and reinforcing rope combination. The DC+ and DC conductors are immersed in the cooling medium to take away the heat in the medium and form a cooling loop through the circulation of the return pipe, which ultimately carries a large current and a small conductor cross-section, achieving high-power and fast charging. The use scenarios of oil-cooled charging cables are generally used in centralized charging stations, large parking lots, hotels, garages and other areas.

PART TWO,Analysis of the competitiveness of core suppliers

1.Polycab India

- Advantageous areas: Building wiring (market share over 35%), low-voltage power cables

- Price strategy: High cost performance, 20-30% lower than imported brands

- Certification: ISI, BIS, IEC 60502

图片26.png

2.RR Kabel

- Featured product: Solar power cable (UL 4703 certified)

- Innovative technology: weather-resistant double-layer insulation (-40℃~120℃)

图片27.png

3.Sterlite Technologies

- High-end market: Submarine water-blocking optical cable (cooperation with Reliance Jio submarine network)

- Technology source: Water-blocking glass fiber yarn produced by patented water-blocking resin coating process 

 

图片30.png图片28.png图片29.png

 

 

PART THREE,Price sensitivity factors

1.Raw material fluctuations

- Impact of copper prices: Copper cable prices fluctuate by ±15%/quarter (copper price in 2023 is about ₹750/kg)

- Aluminum substitution trend: Aluminum cable price is only 30-40% of copper cable, but BS-7886 certification is required

2.Tariff Policy

- Imported cables: GST 18% + anti-dumping duty 7-15% (additional tariff for cables made in China)

- Local sourcing advice: give priority to suppliers with the "Make in India" label

图片31.png

 

PART FOUR,Procurement strategy recommendations

1.Bulk Purchase Discounts

- 5-8% discount for orders over 10,000 meters (like Polycab's tiered pricing policy)

图片32.png

2.Authentication and Verification

- Required certification: ISI mark (mandatory), ISO 9001 (quality system)

- High-end scenarios: Prioritize products with IEC 60754 (low smoke and halogen-free) certification

  1. Logistics Optimization

- Regional distribution centers: Mumbai (west coast), Chennai (South India) warehouse delivery price is 10-15% lower

 

图片33.png

PART FIVE,Risk Warning

1.Identification of counterfeit products

- Counterfeit brands: Beware of variant trademarks such as "P0lycab" (the number 0 replaces the letter o)

- Verified channels: filter suppliers by Indiamart's "Verified Plus" label

图片34.png

2.Delivery delay

- Rainy season impact: Mumbai Port is congested from June to September, it is recommended to place orders 45 days in advance

图片35.png

Through this analysis, we can quickly identify high-demand categories and compliant suppliers in the Indian cable market, and optimize procurement costs by combining tariff policies and localized production advantages. We need to focus on growth areas such as water-blocking optical cables and solar cables (annual growth rate of 12-18%).
