Five decades of uninterrupted manufacturing for India’s core sectors
India Electricals Syndicate has manufactured cable trays, earthing materials, GI structures, and solar mounting systems from our Howrah works without a break since 1972. We do not build apps. We build the heavy-duty electrical infrastructure that powers refineries, steel plants, power grids, and data centres.
