Laser Power & Infra secures first commercial order under TS Conductor partnership for deployment of next-generation AECC conductors

Laser Power & Infra secures first commercial order under TS Conductor partnership for deployment of next-generation AECC conductors

HPSEBL awards turnkey reconductoring project using next-generation Aluminium Encapsulated Carbon Core Conductor (AECC) technology, marking Laser’s first commercial deployment under its manufacturing partnership with TS Conductor, USA

Kolkata, July 17, 2026: Laser Power & Infra Limited, an integrated manufacturer of power cables and conductors with EPC capabilities in power transmission and distribution, has received a Letter of Intent (LoI) from Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL), a Government undertaking, for the supply and installation of High Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) conductors under a turnkey reconductoring project aimed at improving power supply reliability in the Nalagarh Electrical Division, Himachal Pradesh.

The project entails replacing conventional conductors with advanced HTLS conductors that significantly enhance transmission capacity while utilizing the existing tower infrastructure. By enabling utilities to carry substantially higher current without requiring additional right-of-way or tower replacement, reconductoring offers a faster, more cost-effective and sustainable approach to strengthening the power transmission network.

The order, valued at approximately ₹4.15 crore, represents Laser’s first commercial deployment of advanced conductor technology under its manufacturing agreement with TS Conductor Corp., USA, executed in March 2025. The project will utilize Aluminium Encapsulated Carbon Core Conductors (AECC) manufactured by Laser in India using TS Conductor’s proprietary pre-tensioned carbon fibre composite core technology.

This possibly represents India’s first commercial project involving TS Conductor’s proprietary AECC technology, with the conductors being manufactured domestically by Laser for project execution. The milestone underscores the successful commercialization of Laser’s technology partnership with TS Conductor and represents an important step towards localizing next-generation transmission conductor technology for India’s rapidly evolving power grid.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Deepak Goel, Chairman & Managing Director, Laser Power & Infra Limited, said: “This order marks the successful commercialization of our technology partnership with TS Conductor and validates our strategy of bringing globally proven advanced conductor solutions to India’s power sector. HPSEBL’s decision to adopt AECC technology reflects the growing need for solutions that can increase transmission capacity, improve grid efficiency and reduce line losses without expanding existing transmission corridors. As utilities increasingly focus on upgrading existing networks to meet rising electricity demand, we believe reconductoring will become a key pillar of India’s grid modernization programme. This project is an important milestone in positioning Laser as a leading domestic provider of next-generation transmission conductor solutions.”

AECC conductors are engineered to deliver 2–3 times the power carrying capacity of conventional ACSR conductors while significantly reducing line losses and maintaining minimal thermal sag under high operating temperatures. Their compatibility with existing transmission infrastructure makes them particularly well suited for reconductoring projects, enabling utilities to modernize ageing transmission corridors without extensive civil infrastructure upgrades.

Laser has already prequalified and submitted bids for 18 transmission EPC projects of 66 kV and above involving reconductoring with advanced HTLS conductors. The HPSEBL LoI marks the Company’s first commercial success in this strategic business segment and establishes an important commercial reference as Laser expands its presence in India’s rapidly growing market for advanced transmission conductor solutions.

‘মেক ইন ইন্ডিয়া’ উদ্যোগের আওতায় ভারতের সবচেয়ে বড় ডিসপোজেবল হাইজিন পণ্য উৎপাদন কেন্দ্রের শক্তিতে বেবি কেয়ার, মহিলা হাইজিন ও অ্যাডাল্ট কেয়ার ক্ষেত্রে দ্রুত এগোচ্ছে পান হেলথ

মোল্লা জসিমউদ্দিন,

হাইজিন পণ্য তৈরির ক্ষেত্রে ভারতের অন্যতম শীর্ষ সংস্থা পান হেলথ বড় পরিসরে উৎপাদন, নিয়মিত নতুন পণ্য বাজারে আনা এবং কেন্দ্র সরকারের ‘মেক ইন ইন্ডিয়া’ উদ্যোগের শক্তিকে কাজে লাগিয়ে বেবি কেয়ার, মহিলা হাইজিন এবং অ্যাডাল্ট কেয়ার ক্ষেত্রে দ্রুত নিজেদের ব্যবসা বাড়িয়ে চলেছে।
লিটল অ্যাঞ্জেল (বেবি কেয়ার), এভারটিন (মহিলা হাইজিন) এবং লিবার্টি (অ্যাডাল্ট কেয়ার) – এই তিনটি প্রধান ব্র্যান্ডের মাধ্যমে পান হেলথ সব বয়সের মানুষের জন্য হাইজিন পণ্য তৈরি করে। স্বাস্থ্য, পরিচ্ছন্নতা এবং সুস্থ জীবনযাপনের বিষয়ে মানুষের সচেতনতা বাড়ার সঙ্গে সঙ্গে সংস্থাও নিয়মিত নতুন পণ্য বাজারে আনছে এবং বিভিন্ন বিভাগে নিজেদের পণ্যের পরিসর বাড়াচ্ছে।

Kolkata Flags Off First Jewellery Export Consignment to the UK Under India–UK CETA

• Six leading Kolkata Exporters Join Historic US$10 Million Nationwide Jewellery Shipment

Kolkata, 15 July 2026: Kolkata, one of India’s leading centres for jewellery manufacturing and craftsmanship, today marked a historic milestone with the flagging off of the first jewellery export consignment to the United Kingdom under the India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) at the Kolkata Air Cargo Complex.

The ceremony was held in the presence of Shri Tapas Roy, Hon’ble Minister-in-Charge, Industry & Commerce, Government of West Bengal, Shri Yogendra Garg, IRS, Member, Customs, Shri Chandra Kant Mishra, ITS, Additional Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Dr. Andrew Fleming, British Deputy High Commissioner, East & Northeast India, Shri Pankaj Parekh, the Regional Chairman – Eastern Region, GJEPC and Dr. Debjani Roy, Executive Director, SHEFEXIL

The Kolkata flag-off forms part of a nationwide initiative being held across Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Jaipur and Chennai, celebrating India’s first jewellery exports to the UK under the landmark trade agreement.
leading exporters from Kolkata— Jais Jewellery Pvt. Ltd.; Modern Impex; L. Gopal & Sons (Jewellers); AB Jewels Pvt. Ltd., JS Jewels Private Limited; Hasmukh Parekh Jewellers—are part of the inaugural US$10 million jewellery shipment comprising gold jewellery, diamond jewellery, silver jewellery and platinum jewellery.

The India–UK CETA ushers in a new era for India’s gem and jewellery industry by providing zero-duty access to the UK market from the day the agreement enters into force and eliminating UK import tariffs of up to 4%. The agreement gives Indian exporters a significant competitive advantage in the UK’s US$4 billion jewellery import market, paving the way for enhanced exports, investment and employment.

Shri Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said “Today marks a proud and defining moment for India’s gem and jewellery industry as we flag off the first export consignment to the United Kingdom under the India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. This is more than the movement of goods—it is the beginning of a new chapter in India’s global trade journey. I sincerely thank Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the Government of India for their visionary leadership in concluding this landmark agreement and for their unwavering support to our industry. The India–UK CETA eliminates UK import tariffs of up to 4%, providing Indian exporters with a significant competitive advantage in the UK’s US$4 billion jewellery import market. With zero-duty access, we expect India’s gem and jewellery exports to the UK to increase from around US$754 million to nearly US$2.5 billion over the next three years. This growth will create new opportunities for exporters, manufacturers, MSMEs, artisans and designers while further strengthening India’s position as a global leader in craftsmanship, innovation and value-added jewellery manufacturing.”

Shri Pankaj Parekh, Regional Chairman – Eastern Region, GJEPC, said: “The India–UK Free Trade Agreement presents a transformative opportunity to showcase India’s exceptional jewellery craftsmanship to consumers in one of the world’s most discerning jewellery markets. With zero-duty access, India’s gem and jewellery exports to the UK are projected to increase from around US$754 million to nearly US$2.5 billion over the next three years. Kolkata, with its rich legacy of jewellery craftsmanship and manufacturing excellence, is well-positioned to contribute significantly to this growth. The agreement will open new avenues for artisans, manufacturers and exporters, enabling them to expand their global footprint while reinforcing India’s position as a trusted source of world-class craftsmanship.”

The India–UK CETA is expected to deliver significant benefits to West Bengal’s gem and jewellery sector by improving market access, encouraging value-added manufacturing, creating employment, promoting skill development and strengthening the participation of artisans, MSMEs and exporters. Kolkata’s long-standing reputation for fine jewellery craftsmanship and manufacturing excellence positions the region to emerge as one of the key beneficiaries of the landmark agreement.

The flagging off of the first consignment underscores Kolkata’s continued contribution to India’s gem and jewellery exports and reflects the confidence of the industry’s exporters in the opportunities created by the India–UK CETA. As Indian jewellery enters the UK market with zero-duty access for the first time, Kolkata’s manufacturers and artisans are poised to play a pivotal role in strengthening India’s global jewellery exports.
