India's power distribution networks suffer from high losses and poor design. Special low loss conductors called 'Sterlite Eco Conductors' can reduce these losses by nearly 30% compared to conventional conductors by having lower resistance. They also resist corrosion better. This improves power transfer capacity without changing existing tower infrastructure. Sterlite Technologies has been a leader in developing these conductors in India to modernize transmission and distribution networks in a cost effective way.

sterlitetechnologies.com EXPERT OPINION
Sterlite Technologies has been in the forefront
of developing and offering this technology to its customers, as a result of which they are able to increase the capacity of their transmission and distribution networks without the need to modify the structure and/or foundation of existing towers. Today, Sterlite is a significant contributor to the global power sector through indigenous manufacture of a complete range of power transmission conductors at extra high voltages (400kV to 800kV), high voltages (66kV to 220kV) and power distribution conductors (11kV- 33kV). As an industry leader, Sterlite is committed to research and product development. Sterlite actively explores the latest technologies to develop conductors that have an ability to increase the current carrying capacity of existing lines and to significantly improve the overall economics on new lines.
