Polycab

Polycab is a major manufacturer of wires and cables with its headquarters located in India. The company produces a range of electrical conductors, power cables, and specialty wiring products that are used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Its product portfolio includes low‑voltage and high‑voltage cables, flexible wires, and associated accessories designed for power transmission and distribution. Polycab supplies these components to infrastructure projects, utilities, and manufacturing sectors across the country.

The firm operates multiple manufacturing facilities spread throughout India, as evidenced by the statement that all of its facilities continued normal operations during a recent cyber incident. Described in a regulatory filing as a major wires and cables manufacturer, Polycab holds a notable position within the Indian electrical equipment industry. Its scale enables it to serve large‑scale power distribution networks as well as smaller‑scale building wiring needs. The company’s operational footprint supports both domestic demand and export‑oriented orders.

Polycab’s core competency lies in the design and production of reliable wiring solutions that meet national and international safety standards. During the ransomware attack on 17 March 2024, the company’s IT systems were affected while its production lines and facilities remained unaffected, highlighting the segregation between its information technology and operational technology environments. In response, Polycab’s internal technical team collaborated with external cybersecurity specialists to contain the breach and restore normal IT functions without disclosing any data loss or financial impact. This incident underscores the organization’s focus on maintaining operational continuity even when facing cyber threats. Polycab continues to be recognized as a key supplier of electrical wiring products in India’s growing infrastructure landscape.
