KEI Industries has moved a step forward in its major expansion plan with the launch of the first phase of commercial production at its new greenfield manufacturing unit in Sanand, Ahmedabad. The update follows earlier disclosures made in July, October and December 2025 under SEBI’s Listing Regulations, where the company had outlined its large-scale capex programme for producing LT, HT and EHV cables at the Gujarat site.
The newly commissioned phase focuses on LT and HT cable manufacturing and is located at Plot No. 1012–1023 in the Sanand-II BOL Engineering Industrial Estate, GIDC. With operations beginning on 10 December 2025, KEI has officially started utilising the first leg of its planned capacity expansion.
As of the end of November 2025, KEI’s annual capacity stood at 2,26,700 KMS for cables, 23,89,000 units for house wires, and 9,000 MT for stainless steel wires, with utilisation levels of 72.44%, 67.08% and 82.84% respectively. The Sanand project will meaningfully boost these numbers, adding an additional 60,732 KMS of cable manufacturing capacity once fully scaled.
The total investment earmarked for the Sanand project is approximately ₹2,000 crore, funded through a combination of QIP proceeds and internal accruals. KEI stated that the expanded capacity will allow the company to serve rising demand across its product portfolio, especially in the power infrastructure and real estate segments where cable requirements have been consistently increasing.
