Star Cable Climper – can be a gamechanger in Delhi’s government ambitious goal of making the national capital overhead wire-free.

NEW DELHI, 14 SEPTEMBER, 2025 (GPN): As the Delhi government sets an ambitious goal of making the national capital “free from overhead wires,” a homegrown tool may offer the solution it needs.

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta recently inaugurated a pilot project to convert overhead wires into an underground power network in Shalimar Bagh in Delhi and announced that the government aims to make the national capital free from overhead wires. The Delhi government has also allocated Rs. 100 crores in the budget to eliminate the tangled web of overhead cables.

While underground cabling is considered an ideal solution to this problem, it can be expensive, time-consuming and can cause difficulties to the common masses. An effective and budget-friendly solution to this issue has been developed by Star Infomatic Pvt. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of fiber optic solutions in the country.

The company has developed a ground-breaking cable management tool – the Star Cable Climper. This overhead cable binding device is a simple, extendable and ground-operated tool that allows technicians to secure loose overhead wires without climbing poles, shutting down services or even digging the streets. Unlike expensive underground cabling projects which take months and large budgets to complete, the Star Cable Climper provides a faster, safer and more efficient wire bundling solution.

“The Delhi government has taken a much-needed step to free Delhi from overhead tangled wires. But we need practical solutions to these urban issues. We can solve this problem without even digging any street or causing difficulty to anyone living in Delhi,” says Kartik Saxena, CEO at Star Infomatic Pvt. Ltd.

He further said, “It’s not just about hiding the wires. It’s about managing them smartly, safely and affordably. Our overhead wire organizer can help governments solve the problem of tangled cables without needing massive budgets and in much less time.”

As the urban centres are fast coming up across the country, the Star Cable Climper could see adoption far beyond Delhi. Several municipalities and civic bodies have already shown interest in the tool, especially in high-density zones where undergrounding isn’t a viable option.

Manufactured in India, Star Cable Climper is engineered for local conditions including high temperatures, tight spaces and extreme weather conditions. The portable cable tieing machine helps enhance urban aesthetics and safety, offering a compact, field-tested method to organize and secure overhead utility lines, fiber cables and electrical wires.
