Focusing on advanced safety, Torrent Electricals debuts advanced residential wires, marking an entry into housing infrastructure with fire-safe, eco-friendly solutions.
Torrent Electricals, a power cable manufacturer under the Torrent Group, has officially entered the residential wiring sector. The company launched its new range of housing wires at an event in Vadodara.
The new range includes four advanced variants: flame retardant (FR), heat-resistant flame retardant (HRFR), flame retardant low smoke and halogen (FRLSH), and halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR). These wires are designed to meet the increasing demand for fire safety, thermal stability, and low emissions in home electrical systems.
CEO Sachin Phartiyal highlighted the strategic importance of the move. He said the launch addresses rising urbanisation, growing awareness of electrical safety, and the push towards sustainable construction.
“Every home represents a dream and a major investment,” he noted. “Torrent aims to make these dreams safer and more reliable through advanced wiring solutions.”
The unveiling event featured product demonstrations, technical discussions, and insights into the company’s testing protocols. Attendees saw how the new wires reduce smoke and halogen emissions, crucial for minimising harm during electrical fires.
Torrent’s 82-acre (approximately 33.19 hectares) facility in Nadiad, Gujarat, supports this product line, equipped with a National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL)-certified lab and advanced Research and Development (R&D).
The company clarified that all wires undergo rigorous testing and meet standards set by the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), Electrical Research and Development Association (ERDA), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), and Conformité Européenne (CE).
Known for manufacturing extra-high voltage to low-tension cables, Torrent now adds residential wiring to its portfolio, reinforcing its legacy of quality and innovation in the Indian power sector.
