Havells India has been allotted additional land by the Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation Ltd (RIICO) for the expansion of its cable manufacturing plant in Alwar, Rajasthan. The allotted land measures around 1.58 lakh sqm and is adjacent to the existing plant. This expansion is part of the company’s plan to increase its annual cable manufacturing capacity to cater to growing demand.
In July 2024, Havells India announced its proposal to expand the Alwar plant’s capacity from 32.9 lakh km to 41.2 lakh km, with an investment of Rs.375 crore. The expansion was expected to be operational by March 2026. The company has since announced further expansion of the plant’s capacity by 0.25 lakh km, with an outlay of Rs.340 crore, which is scheduled for completion by September 2026.
The allotted land is intended for this further expansion, which aims to improve operational efficiencies through backward integration and process improvements. The Alwar plant, set up in 1996, is one of the largest single-location cable plants in the country, spread over an area of around 4.05 lakh sqm. It caters to both industrial and domestic cables.
Havells India has several other manufacturing facilities in Rajasthan, including Neemrana for water heaters and Ghiloth for air-conditioners. The company also has manufacturing sites in other states, including Baddi in Himachal Pradesh, Haridwar in Uttarakhand, Faridabad in Haryana, and Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh. The expansion of the Alwar plant is expected to help the company meet growing demand and improve its operational efficiencies.
The investment in the expansion of the Alwar plant demonstrates Havells India’s commitment to increasing its manufacturing capacity and improving its competitiveness in the market. The company’s focus on backward integration and process improvements is also expected to help it reduce costs and improve its profitability. Overall, the expansion of the Alwar plant is a significant development for Havells India and is expected to contribute to the company’s growth and success in the future.
