NATIONAL, 11 MAY, 2023 (GPN)– India’s leading electrical goods company, Polycab India Limited (PIL) has partnered with the National Federation of Engineers (NFE) to promote electrical safety in India.

Speaking about the association S. Gopa Kumar, President, National Federation of Engineers for Electrical Safety (NFE) said, National Electrical code of India 2023 brought paradigm shift in the way of using cables and wires in the construction industry. E.g., the mandatory use of wires with 70% light transmittance for safety services in escape routes. We are glad to have the support of Polycab India in our mass awareness programs on NEC of India 2023, who can display and demonstrate the new requirements of wires and cables to participants.Ends
