LAPP, a global leader in cable and connectivity solutions, has inaugurated a major expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The expansion transforms LAPP Cable Works Bhopal into the largest manufacturing facility in the company’s global production network.

With its latest investment in Bhopal, LAPP has established a state-of-the-art facility for Power Low Voltage (LV) cable manufacturing. These cables support critical electrical infrastructure across factories, commercial buildings, transportation systems, renewable energy installations, utility projects and other industrial applications. Construction of the unit began in 2025, and the facility became fully operational today.

The investment comes as India continues to witness strong growth in infrastructure, manufacturing and energy sectors, driving demand for Power LV cable solutions. Infrastructure investments across the country are estimated to reach approximately Rs 24 trillion over the current and next financial year, while renewable energy capacity additions are projected at 50-55 GW annually.

“Ultimately, this investment is about our customers: Following our ‘in India for India’ strategy, we are improving our capabilities to support their growth with locally manufactured, high-quality connectivity solutions. We deeply believe in India as a strategic core market for LAPP in Asia and Madhya Pradesh as a manufacturing location,” said Matthias Lapp, CEO, LAPP Group.

Since its establishment in 2012, LAPP has continuously expanded its Bhopal manufacturing capabilities. The facility, which initially focused on single-core cable production, has evolved to include multicore cable manufacturing, solar cable production, compounding capabilities and E-Beam technology.

Today, the facility provides more than 200 quality manufacturing jobs and has become LAPP’s largest manufacturing site globally. It also houses some of the group’s most advanced manufacturing technologies, enabling LAPP to develop and produce advanced polymer blends in-house. This provides greater control over cable quality, consistency and performance.

E-Beam technology enhances cable materials at a molecular level, improving durability, thermal resistance and long-term reliability for demanding industrial applications.

The inauguration coincides with LAPP India’s 30th anniversary year and marks another milestone in the company’s long-term commitment to India. India is currently LAPP’s largest market after Germany and a key global growth driver.
