Diamond Power Infrastructure Limited (DICABS) has successfully commissioned a new copper wire drawing and copper cable manufacturing line at its integrated facility in Vadodara, Gujarat. This marks the company’s entry into the copper cable segment, complementing its existing aluminum-based offerings. The new line has an installed capacity of 1,500 MT per month and is designed for high-power applications like data centers and power plants, aiming to enhance its product portfolio and market reach.
DICABS Launches Copper Cable Manufacturing
Diamond Power Infrastructure Limited (DICABS) has announced the successful commissioning of a dedicated copper wire drawing and copper cable manufacturing line at its integrated complex in Village Vadadala, Gujarat. Commercial production commenced on August 20, 2026.
Enhanced Production Capacity and Product Offering
The newly commissioned line boasts an installed capacity of 1,500 MT per month of copper cables. This facility is specifically engineered to produce cables for applications demanding high power intensity and significant current-carrying capabilities, such as data centers, power plants, and industrial installations. A key aspect of this development is the in-house drawing of copper wire from copper wire rod, integrating conductor manufacturing within the company’s operations.
Strategic Market Expansion
Historically, DICABS has focused on manufacturing aluminum-based cables and conductors. This strategic move into copper-based cables, a segment known for higher realisations, allows the company to offer a comprehensive cable package to its customers, covering both aluminum and copper conductors. This expansion is not expected to alter the general character or nature of the company’s business but aims to strengthen its market position and cater to a broader range of customer requirements.
Project Rationale and Impact
The addition of this capacity is intended to extend the company’s cable portfolio from aluminum conductors into copper conductors. This diversification is driven by the higher realisations associated with copper cables and their specification for high power-intensity applications. The company anticipates that this expansion will support business growth, facilitate market presence, and positively impact its topline. The company has also stated that this development does not constitute a change in the general character or nature of its business.
