As infrastructure development accelerates across India, stakeholders often face a common question: Should we go with overhead or underground power lines?

Overhead lines are cost-effective, easy to install and maintain, and widely used in rural and semi-urban areas. However, they are prone to weather-related damage, vandalism, and have a significant visual impact. Underground cables, on the other hand, offer higher safety, reduced exposure to weather conditions, and improved aesthetics—ideal for urban, high-density regions.

CPPL has expertise in both overhead and underground systems. Our team evaluates various parameters like terrain, population density, environmental impact, budget, and maintenance needs to recommend the best solution. For example, underground trenchless cable installations are highly suitable for metro cities, minimizing surface disruption while enhancing reliability.

Understanding the trade-offs between the two is vital for making informed, future-proof decisions. At CPPL, we ensure that the execution, whether overhead or underground, is done with quality, safety, and longevity in mind.
