In a ground-breaking move that propels India closer to infrastructure self-reliance, Raychem RPG has heralded a new era in the country's electricity distribution projects. With its indomitable spirit and commitment to the 'Make in India' initiative, the company has achieved a significant milestone that promises to reshape the landscape of electricity distribution in India and beyond.
Founded in 1989 as a joint venture between TE Connectivity, U.S.A., and RPG Enterprises, India, Raychem RPG stands as a beacon of Indo-US cooperation, boasting nearly four decades of unparalleled success. Today, the company is proud to announce its latest triumph: the completion of the rigorous Pre-Qualification (PQ) test protocols for its 245KV Extra High Voltage Cable Accessories (EHVCA) at the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), India.
This certification is not just a feather in Raychem RPG's cap; it's a monumental achievement that positions the company as the sole organisation in its field to successfully navigate the arduous year-long PQ testing process. The approval of Raychem RPG's 245KV EHVCA for use across India signifies the end of the country's dependence on long-lead imports from Europe for these critical components. It marks a giant leap towards fulfilling domestic demands through home-grown solutions. "Our dedication to the Make in India initiative is unwavering," says Vivek Venkatachalam, CEO of Ray chem RPG. "We are committed to advancing our nation's progress and self-reliance." This sentiment is echoed by Sankara Raman, Sr. VP - Operations & Technology, who highlights the company's dedication to engineering excellence and innovation.
Raychem RPG's 245kV cable accessories, produced at their Halol plant in Gujarat using world-class material, are now set to receive widespread acceptance not only in India but also in SAARC countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. This development is expected to significantly aid in better project management and faster execution of infrastructure projects, thereby enhancing the quality of life in these regions.
Tamal Kanti Saha, Sr. VP and Head - Global Sales & Marketing, emphasises the company's commitment to supporting customers and large infrastructure projects with speed, affordability, and reliability. "We are determined to make the journey of self-reliance and the 'Make in India' initiative a resounding success," he states.
With operations facilities located in Halol, Vasai, Chakan, and Naigaon, Raychem RPG adheres to stringent management systems across all locations, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
As Raychem RPG continues to lead the way in the infrastructure segment, providing solutions across multiple industries, the company stands as a testament to the power of innovation, collaboration, and dedication to progress.
