Strengthening Presence Beyond Africa
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Zambia, Neelkanth Cables has built a strong reputation across Southern, Central, and Eastern Africa. The company continues to expand across new regions by leveraging its leading role in the domestic cable market.
According to the company, Neelkanth now holds over 50% of Zambia’s market share in low- and medium-voltage cables. The new Dubai site allows the company to serve broader international markets while strengthening logistics and export capabilities.
Expanding Production Capacity for Key Sectors
The new facility employs around 200 staff and can produce up to 13,000 metric tons of copper cable and 7,000 metric tons of aluminum cable each year. The plant will supply several industries, including power transmission, oil and gas, construction, infrastructure, steel, cement, and mining.
“Dubai Industrial City provides the perfect location for our investment,” said Sanjeev Dubey, COO of Neelkanth Cable Manufacturing LLC. “Its strategic proximity to shipping hubs enables fast distribution, while the modern infrastructure and excellent business support services make it ideal for our growth plans.”
Supporting the UAE’s Industrial Vision
Neelkanth aims to contribute to Dubai’s ongoing industrial development and technological innovation. By adding manufacturing strength within the UAE, the company supports local job creation, supply chain diversification, and value-added industrial activities.
“We are proud to play a part in Dubai’s economic growth,” Dubey added. “Our new factory advances Neelkanth’s vision of delivering world-class cables efficiently to regional and international customers.”
