MUMBAI, India, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ravin Group, India's pioneering cable manufacturing and EPC solutions company, has been honoured with the 'Outstanding Component Supplier for Railway Infrastructure' award at the prestigious ET Infra Rail Show Awards 2025. This recognition highlights Ravin Group's critical contribution to India's most complex railway project — the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) — and affirms its position as a leader in engineering innovation for infrastructure.
Ravin Group was recognised for supplying 790 km of custom-engineered, fire-safe cables, including its proprietary IGNAMO fire-survival cables, specifically developed to withstand the harsh and demanding conditions of the Himalayan region. The standout among these was Tunnel T13, a 9.3 km-long segment in the Katra-Dharam section — one of the longest and most treacherous tunnels in the project. This zone experiences sub-zero temperatures, seismic activity, steep gradients, and high humidity — conditions far beyond the scope of traditional urban cabling solutions.
To meet these unique demands, Ravin Group developed halogen-free, low-smoke, fire-safe cables that could operate efficiently under extreme thermal stress. Select cable sizes weighed up to 12 tonnes per 500-meter drum, requiring significant logistical planning to transport massive drums across rocky, narrow mountain paths with limited or no road access. These engineering feats were complemented by thermal-resistant sheathing, and extended fire integrity performance exceeding 120 minutes, ensuring circuit continuity in case of fire in the enclosed tunnel environments.
"This project was not just about sending cables up a mountain — it was about engineering trust under pressure," said Mr. Vijay Karia, Chairman & Managing Director, Ravin Group. "We are proud to have innovated solutions that not only met the technical demands of the USBRL project but also stood strong against the forces of nature. This award affirms the strength of Indian engineering when backed by vision and resolve."
Despite the rugged terrain, unpredictable weather, landslides, and security challenges, Ravin ensured timely deliveries by adopting a batch-wise modular manufacturing strategy and deploying technical teams at critical locations for real-time troubleshooting and support. The company also overcame severe constraints in power supply and transportation, proving its mettle in executing projects of national importance in the most testing environments.
Ravin's journey from powering metros and urban projects to enabling connectivity across the Himalayas reflects its commitment to building a futuristic, unified India. As a 75-year-old Indian multinational, Ravin proudly upholds the 'Make in India' mission, designing and producing these cables entirely within India, connecting the nation both physically and symbolically.
