APAR Industries has been providing indigenously developed specialised cables to the Indian Defence for over a decade.
September 8, 2022
2nd September 2022 marked an essential milestone for Indian defence manufacturing as the Indian Navy commissioned “INS Vikrant” – the largest ship (aircraft carrier) ever built in India’s maritime history. Earlier on May 17th, 2022, India had successfully launched two indigenously made frontline warships, INS Surat and INS Udaygiri and the third ship “INS Taragiri” is scheduled to be launched on 11 September 2022 from Mumbai’s Mazagon Docks.
These are some of the momentous steps of the Indian Navy in achieving self-reliance in the defence sector, as India joins a select group of nations having the capability to design and build an Aircraft Carrier indigenously.

INS Vikrant is built using indigenous equipment, machinery & over 2,500 km of cabling (more than the distance between Kochi to Kailash). APAR Industries Ltd. is proud to be one of the partners of the Indian Navy for supplying specialised e-beam (EBXL) cables.
APAR has been supplying indigenously developed and manufactured specialised cables to the Indian defence for over a decade. These specialised cables include control cables, power cables, instrumentation cables, and co-axial cables manufactured at APAR’s Khatalwada plant in Gujarat.
Cables manufactured by APAR undergo Electron Beam (e-beam) irradiation process. In this process, wires pass through high-energy electrons for crosslinking the polymers which improves the electrical and mechanical properties of the wires and cables. This crosslinking significantly improves the thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of the polymer.
