LAPP, a
global leader in cable and connectivity solutions, has inaugurated a major
expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The
expansion transforms LAPP Cable Works Bhopal into the largest manufacturing
facility in the company’s global production network.
With its
latest investment in Bhopal, LAPP has established a state-of-the-art facility
for Power Low Voltage (LV) cable manufacturing. These cables support critical
electrical infrastructure across factories, commercial buildings,
transportation systems, renewable energy installations, utility projects and
other industrial applications. Construction of the unit began in 2025, and the
facility became fully operational today.
The
investment comes as India continues to witness strong growth in infrastructure,
manufacturing and energy sectors, driving demand for Power LV cable solutions.
Infrastructure investments across the country are estimated to reach
approximately Rs 24 trillion over the current and next financial year, while
renewable energy capacity additions are projected at 50-55 GW annually.
“Ultimately,
this investment is about our customers: Following our ‘in India for India’
strategy, we are improving our capabilities to support their growth with
locally manufactured, high-quality connectivity solutions. We deeply believe in
India as a strategic core market for LAPP in Asia and Madhya Pradesh as a
manufacturing location,” said Matthias
Lapp, CEO, LAPP Group.
Since its
establishment in 2012, LAPP has continuously expanded its Bhopal manufacturing
capabilities. The facility, which initially focused on single-core cable
production, has evolved to include multicore cable manufacturing, solar cable
production, compounding capabilities and E-Beam technology.
Today, the
facility provides more than 200 quality manufacturing jobs and has become
LAPP’s largest manufacturing site globally. It also houses some of the group’s
most advanced manufacturing technologies, enabling LAPP to develop and produce
advanced polymer blends in-house. This provides greater control over cable
quality, consistency and performance.
E-Beam
technology enhances cable materials at a molecular level, improving durability,
thermal resistance and long-term reliability for demanding industrial
applications.
The
inauguration coincides with LAPP India’s 30th anniversary year and marks
another milestone in the company’s long-term commitment to India. India is
currently LAPP’s largest market after Germany and a key global growth driver.
