Epsilon Composite forms new Indian subsidiary “HindEpsilon Composite”, to be headquartered in Chennai
- November 1, 2025
Epsilon Composite has announced the formation of its Indian subsidiary to support power grid modernization.
The French carbon fibre pioneer has crossed a key milestone in its Indian-centric development plants with its new Indian subsidiary “HindEpsilon Composite,” incorporated in October 2025 and headquartered in Chennai.
Epsilon Composite, through its division Epsilon Cable is globally known for its HVCRC® composite core conductors, also known as HTLS conductors, which are used to improve the capacity, efficiency and resilience of overhead power lines.
While Epsilon Cable operates on all continents, India is clearly identified as one of Epsilon Cable’s top strategic markets for the future. Epsilon Cable is moving on with its plan to establish a local factory in India.
Epsilon Cable, in association with its stranding partners, has been awarded a series of reconductoring projects in several states including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Assam.
Key enabler of grid modernization
According to Alexandre LULL, Managing Director, Epsilon Composite, “India is one of the most dynamic countries in the world, facing an immense electrification challenge.
Advanced conductors such as HVCRC are recognized as key enablers of this modernization, but the lack of open competition in the field of composite core conductors has hindered the deployment of this technology in the past, so authorities and utilities are actively seeking reliable and competitive suppliers.
Epsilon Cable is proud to answer this call with a proven, cost-efficient and sustainable solution, soon to be produced locally in India, bringing additional production capacity and even faster delivery to our local partners. Our mission is fully aligned with India’s national grid strengthening plan and in support of India’s 500 GW renewable target for 2030.”

We are expanding our local resources and strengthening our presence in the country, with a clear roadmap to establish local production.”
