Jul-12-2025

HFCL has received approval for the enhancement of Intermittent Bonded Ribbon (IBR) cable manufacturing capacity from around 1.73 million fiber kilometres per annum (mfkm/p.a.) to around 19.01 mfkm/p.a. at its existing facilities in Hyderabad and Goa with a total capital outlay of approximately Rs 125.55 crore. This expansion is in line with the company’s strategy to diversify its optical fiber cable product portfolio, capture high-value market segments, and drive market expansion.

This expansion is aimed at meeting rising global demand, particularly from North America and Europe. The company already has orders in hand of IBR cables from large hyperscalers, underscoring the market’s confidence in its capabilities. It strategically positions HFCL as a key player in this specialized and high growth segment. IBR cables are known for their superior performance and suitability in high-density fiber deployments, offering enhanced flexibility, splicing efficiency and reduced weight, making them ideal for data centres and telecom networks. 

Upon completion of the aforesaid expansion, the company’s consolidated OFC manufacturing capacity will reach around 42.36 mfkm/p.a. The Board of Directors of the company, at its meeting held on July 11, 2025, has, inter alia, considered and approved the same. 

HFCL is a leading telecom infrastructure developer, system integrator and manufacturer of high-end telecom equipment and optical fibre cables, having its own manufacturing facilities at Solan and Goa, and its subsidiary i.e. HTL facilities in Chennai and Hosur.
