Oman Aluminum Processing Industries SPC (OAPIL)— a subsidiary of Oman Cables Industry SAOG—has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Indore Specialty Materials, that will enable it to manufacture high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) conductors.

A press release said that the agreement with Indore Specialty Materials, a subsidiary of India’s Indore Composite, will supply OAPIL with its proprietary EnergyCore composite core, in addition to offering technical support. EnergyCore, an advanced composite material developed by Indore, enhances HTLS conductor performance with superior thermal stability, lightweight properties, and exceptional strength—key qualities that contribute to higher efficiency and reliability in transmission lines. The EnergyCore-based ACER (Aluminum Conductor EnergyCore Reinforced) HTLS conductors will be integral in building a more sustainable power infrastructure for the Middle East and beyond.

This collaboration with Indore Specialty Materials will help us venture into advanced conductor manufacturing, while enabling utilities to enhance power grid capacity, reliability, and resilience,” said OAPIL Chief Strategy Officer Jehan Alagappan. “This investment also helps OAPIL to improve product diversification and create capability to produce high value -added products in Oman. We are happy to partner with Indore Specialty Materials to support energy transition and electrification efforts.”
