Madhya Pradesh's Power Infrastructure Push Slows As Transformer And Insulator Shortages Stretch Delivery Timelines To 18–24 Months
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh's power transmission expansion programme is facing supply constraints as shortages of high-voltage insulators and power transformers delay the availability of critical equipment, with delivery timelines for some items stretching to as long as 24 months. Manufacturers are grappling with raw material shortages, limited production capacity and rising input…
Madhya Pradesh's ambitious power transmission expansion is encountering supply challenges as shortages of vital components, such as transformers and high-voltage insulators, are extending delivery schedules to 18-24 months. Manufacturers are struggling with limited production capacity, raw material shortages, and rising input costs, impacting the timely provision of equipment necessary for developing robust extra high voltage (EHV) transmission networks.
Insulator manufacturers are grappling with difficulties in sourcing raw materials, compounded by disruptions in global energy supplies, leading to delays in delivering essential insulator strings. Similarly, transformer manufacturers are facing component shortages, including essential materials like cold-rolled grain-oriented electrical steel, copper conductors, and insulation materials, causing disruptions and prolonged delivery times.
Industry experts emphasize the urgent need to boost domestic manufacturing capacity, secure reliable supplies of critical raw materials, and reduce reliance on imports for specialized equipment to address the widening gap between demand and supply.
