Nepal's Litmoss Industries Secures Major Contract to Supply High-Capacity Conductors to India's Power Grid Corporation

Litmoss Industries Limited, a leading manufacturer of wires and cables in Nepal, has achieved a significant success from India's central electricity transmission authority, 'Power Grid Corporation of India' (PGCIL).

PGCIL has granted approval to Litmoss to supply high-capacity conductors for the cross-border electricity transmission project. With this approval, Litmoss becomes the first and only Nepali manufacturer to be selected in international competition and connected to cross-border energy infrastructure.

According to the agreement, Litmoss Industries will manufacture and supply 2,799 kilometers of 400 kV 'ACSR Moose Conductor'. These conductors will be used in the Diding-Dhalkebar cross-border transmission line connecting to Nepal's 900 MW Arun-3 Hydropower Project and Bathnaha in India.

The production of such high-capacity conductors for the first time in Nepal adds a new milestone to the country's industrial and technical capabilities. Before awarding the project, an Indian team conducted an in-depth study of Litmoss's factory production capacity, quality control, and testing systems.

Litmoss, which had previously successfully supplied 3,600 kilometers of conductors for the Nepal Electricity Authority's Hetaunda-Dhalkebar-Inaruwa project, has now proven its reliability at the international level.
