🚨An Opportunity for this DECADE‼️
Take any BIG theme - Data Centres, Transmission, Renewables or EVs – there’s one industry that powers it
CABLES AND WIRES!!!
The Indian C&W Industry is valued at ~₹90,000 crores as of FY25
It’s expected to grow at a CAGR of 13% until FY29 to reach a size of ~₹1,50,000 crores
1️⃣Quantifying Demand
