Hind Rectifiers Begins Production of Specialised Copper Conductors

Mumbai, 3 November 2025: Hind Rectifiers (Hirect), a leading manufacturer of power semiconductors, power electronic equipment, and railway transportation systems, has commenced commercial production of specialised copper conductors at its Sinnar plant following the completion of its backward integration project.

The new facility focuses on manufacturing Continuously Transposed Conductors (CTC), Enamelled Paper Insulated Copper Conductors (EPICC), and Paper Insulated Copper Conductors (PICC) — critical raw materials used in traction transformer production.

With a total capital expenditure of Rs 560 million, funded through a mix of term loans and internal accruals, the project will enhance operational efficiency by streamlining the supply chain, reducing dependency on external vendors, and ensuring uninterrupted transformer deliveries. It also aims to avoid penalties previously incurred from Indian Railways due to raw material shortages.

“This backward integration creates a new vertical for us,” said Suramya Nevatia, Chairman and Managing Director, Hind Rectifiers. “These specialised copper conductors are high-demand products with significant export potential. Our new copper facility strengthens our ability to meet rising demand, improve profitability, and deliver greater value to our customers and stakeholders.”

The project further strengthens Hirect’s long-term competitiveness by promoting cost optimisation, margin improvement, and supply chain sustainability, positioning the company as a key contributor to India’s transformer manufacturing ecosystem.
