Universal Cables Partners with TS Conductor to Manufacture HTLS Conductors for Indiaโ€™s Expanding Power Grid

Universal Cables Limited has signed a manufacturing agreement with TS Conductor to produce advanced HTLS conductors in India. The partnership supports higher-capacity power transmission by enabling utilities to upgrade existing lines with low-sag, high-temperature conductors tailored for growing grid demand.

Strengthening Indiaโ€™s Transmission Network

The UCL TS Conductor manufacturing deal marks a major step in advancing Indiaโ€™s power infrastructure. Universal Cables Limited (UCL) has partnered with TS Conductor Corp. to manufacture highโ€‘temperature, lowโ€‘sag (HTLS) conductors. The collaboration supports Indiaโ€™s growing transmission network and rising energy demand. Learn more about UCL at https://www.universalcables.com.

Local Manufacturing to Support Grid Expansion

The agreement introduces domestic production of nextโ€‘generation HTLS conductors designed to handle Indiaโ€™s increasing power needs. Using TS Conductorโ€™s proprietary HTLS technology, UCL will create conductors that carry higher current at elevated temperatures while maintaining minimal sag.

This design lets utilities transfer more power through existing lines without investing in new rightsโ€‘ofโ€‘way or major tower modificationsโ€”a key advantage as grid congestion intensifies. For more details about the technology, visit https://www.tsconductor.com.

Powering Clean Energy and Urban Growth

Indiaโ€™s electricity demand continues to rise due to industrial expansion, urbanization, and renewable energy integration. As a result, UCL and TS Conductorโ€™s partnership creates a strategic opportunity to supply advanced HTLS technology across the country.

By localizing production, the companies aim to shorten delivery timesreduce supply chain costs, and make highโ€‘performance conductors more accessible to utilities and EPC contractors.
Additionally, the partnership enhances UCLโ€™s manufacturing portfolio while positioning TS Conductor closer to Indiaโ€™s fastโ€‘growing power market.

A Longโ€‘Term Collaboration for Grid Modernization

Unlike traditional licensing deals, this partnership establishes a longโ€‘term collaboration focused on innovation and modernization. Together, UCL and TS Conductor will introduce new conductor designs tailored to Indiaโ€™s evolving grid infrastructure and renewable energy projects.

This cooperation underscores both companiesโ€™ commitment to increase transmission capacity, improve reliability, and deliver sustainable power solutions that support Indiaโ€™s energy transition.
