Universal Cables Limited (UCL) – Serving the Nation Since 1945
Universal Cables Limited (UCL) was established in 1945 by the late Shri M.P. Birla, then Chairman, with a state-of-the-art plant for manufacturing Paper Insulated Cables. Over the years, the company has gained a world-class reputation and emerged as a leader in the Indian cable industry.
In 1977, UCL introduced XLPE technology to India in collaboration with M/s. Asea Kabels AB, Sweden (now ABB Cables). The company has also partnered with international leaders such as Furukawa Electric Co. Ltd., Japan, and Viscas Corporation, Japan, for advanced cable manufacturing and jointing accessories.
Our Plant was set up in 1967 in technical collaboration with world-renowned TOSHIBA of Japan for manufacturing Paper and Power Capacitors. Our Capacitor Division expanded its production as well as its range of products over the years.
