Hind Rectifiers Limited, a leading manufacturer of Power Semiconductors, Power Electronic Equipment, and Railway Transportation Systems, announces the successful completion of its backward integration project and the start of commercial production of specialised Copper Conductors at its Sinnar plant.

The project enables in-house manufacturing of Continuously Transposed Conductors (CTC), Enamelled Paper Insulated Copper Conductors (EPICC), and Paper Insulated Copper Conductors (PICC), key raw materials for traction transformers.

With a total investment of around Rs 560 million, funded through a mix of term loans and internal accruals, the project will enhance operational efficiency by streamlining the supply chain, ensuring raw material availability, and reducing dependence on external vendors. It will also help ensure timely transformer deliveries and avoid penalties from Indian Railways.

Suramya Nevatia, Chairman & Managing Director of Hind Rectifiers Limited, said, ‘’This backward integration creates a new Vertical for us, these specialised copper conductors are fast moving products and have tremendous export potential. With this step, we are better positioned to meet the growing demand of not only our own traction transformers but also the Transformer Industry in general. Our copper facility will enable us to improve profitability, increase revenue and deliver greater value to our customers and stakeholders.”

This initiative will strengthen the company’s operations by focusing on cost optimisation and improving profit margins, thereby reinforcing the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the business.
