CTC Global has announced that Torrent Power Ltd energized the first ACCC® conductor transmission line installed in India. The ACCC 393 ckm (318 sqmm diameter) Lisbon size conductor was installed to double the capacity of an existing 132kV transmission line between two substations in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

The ACCC composite core was produced by CTC Global in Irvine, California and the finished conductor delivered to Torrent Power Ltd was manufactured by Sterlite Technologies Ltd, one of CTC Global's ten international manufacturing partners. The project was delivered by Sterlite Technologies Ltd on a turnkey basis, under the guidance of CTC Global.

Headquartered in California, CTC Global has developed and owns all rights to ACCC® (aluminium conductor composite core) technology. CTC Global provides cost-effective conductor solutions that can double the capacity for congested transmission lines, with little to no tower modifications, and with the least line loss.
