Electricity was discovered as a mere tool to help make lives easy. But as of today, electricity has become a source of survival for most of humanity. Everything we do, there is a role of electricity in it, be it cooking, driving, working, relaxing, or even meditating. We are moving towards a wireless era, but even in this age, the most vital part of electricity transmission is the wire. Electric Wires and Cables are still the most important aspect of transmission, and will be for the near and mid-distant future as well.

In India, we are still sceptical on our choices when it comes to buying Cables and Wires for our homes. For this problem, we have curated a list of top 5 cable manufacturers in India, to help you get the right value for your money, without compromising on any aspect. We have taken the conclusion of each brand on the basis of the following aspects:

1. Brand: First thing we notice while shopping is the brand name. It may seem foolish, but it actually is a vital factor when we go shopping for wires.
2. Type: This is also a vital aspect as for example, we do not wish to put a low resistance wire in a place where high resistance is required.
3. Protection: This part cannot be ignored, as wires are a part of the house, where ignorance can cause a lot of damage.
4. Gauge/Rating: This can be categorized as a sub part of safety, as it defines the thickness of the wire.
