Diamond Power Infrastructure
Ltd has achieved a
major backward integration
milestone by commissioning
a PVC compound manufacturing
facility. Located at village
Vadadala in Vadodara district,
Gujarat, the plant recently
began commercial operations.
Set up with an investment of
Rs 8 crore, the unit is capable of
manufacturing 18,000 tonnes
per year of various PVC
(polyvinyl chloride) and XLPE
(cross-linked polyethylene)
compounds that are used in the
manufacture of such cables.
Diamond Power manufacturers
around 40,000 km per year of
assorted LT and HT cables in
which compounds are very critical
inputs—both in terms of cost
and quality.
With the new unit, DPIL
expects to meet 70 per cent of its
requirement in-house.
