MMP Electricals Begins Commercial Production of Silicone Composite Insulators in Nagpur

Nagpur, June 30, 2025 — MMP Electricals Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMP Industries, has officially commenced commercial production of silicone composite insulators at its state-of-the-art facility located at Plot A-27, MIDC Umred, Nagpur. This marks a significant diversification move by the company into the high-performance electrical components segment.
 
₹35–40 Crore Project, Phased Expansion
 
The project, with a total planned investment of ₹35–40 crore, is being implemented in two phases. Phase I, involving an outlay of ₹17–18 crore, has been completed and commercial production is now underway. Phase II, with an additional investment of ₹15–20 crore, is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of FY 2026. Once fully operational, the facility will have an annual production capacity of 10 lakh units.
 
Addressing India’s Power Infrastructure Needs
 
The facility has started manufacturing silicone composite insulators for up to 33 kV and aims to expand its product range to cover high-voltage insulators up to 765 kV. These products are critical components for transmission lines, substations, and grid modernization projects as India ramps up investments in power infrastructure.
 
Silicone composite insulators—made of a fiberglass core and silicone rubber housing—offer distinct advantages over traditional ceramic alternatives. They are lightweight, highly durable, weather-resistant, and designed to perform reliably under extreme environmental conditions.
 
Strategic Market Focus
 
Initially, MMP Electricals will serve MMP Industries’ existing clientele in aluminium cables and conductors, while simultaneously developing new domestic partnerships. The company is also exploring export opportunities in both emerging and developed markets, leveraging the increasing global demand for energy-efficient and modern transmission systems.
 
Leadership Commentary
 
Mr. Arun Bhandari, Chairman & Managing Director of MMP Industries, said:
“This launch marks an important milestone as we responsibly diversify beyond our core aluminium business into high-performance electrical components. Silicone composite insulators reflect our commitment to innovation and sustainable infrastructure solutions. With our new facility in Nagpur, we are positioned to meet the growing domestic demand while also tapping into global markets. This move reinforces our long-term strategy to build a resilient, value-added business that supports India’s energy transition.”
 
With this venture, MMP Electricals positions itself as a key player in India’s evolving power ecosystem, offering advanced solutions aligned with the country’s grid modernization and sustainability goals.
