KEI Industries has commenced trial production of LT cables at its new greenfield plant in Sanand, Gujarat, marking a significant milestone in its expansion strategy.

The company has invested a total of Rs 1,300 crore in the facility, including Rs 800 crore in the first nine months of FY26. By April 2026, the plant will be ready to commission an e-beam facility for producing solar DC cables, which will be followed by a gradual ramp-up of medium voltage (MV) cable production by July or August 2026. Full-scale production for extra high voltage (EHV) cables is expected by March 2027. Once operational, the Sanand plant will have an annual capacity of Rs 6,000 crore, with Rs 4,800 crore dedicated to LT/MV cables and Rs 1,200 crore for EHV cables.

KEI also plans new projects in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, and Vadodara, Gujarat, with a further capital expenditure of Rs 2,000 crore over the next two to three years. The company’s overall production capacity, excluding Sanand, is currently Rs 12,500 crore per year.
