Litmus Cables

Litmus Industries Limited, formerly known as Lumbini Vidyut Udyog, was established in 1977 and is a key manufacturing entity under Ramesh Corp. It was Nepal’s first ACSR conductors manufacturing unit and has grown into the country’s largest cables, wires, and conductors manufacturer, supporting Nepal’s expanding power and electrical infrastructure.

Litmus Industries Limited operates a large-scale production facility at the Butwal Industrial Estate with a 4,000 KVA connected load. The company utilises advanced German technology across its state-of-the-art manufacturing units to produce a wide range of high-quality, durable, and efficient electrical products. By adopting world-class manufacturing systems and precision engineering, Litmus prioritises continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and the delivery of reliable, value-driven wiring and cabling solutions for Nepal’s residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Product Range

1

Overhead Conductors

Overhead conductors are used for the transmission and distribution of electricity and can be installed on transmission towers, wooden poles, and other structures. These power transmission conductors are widely used across Nepal’s electrical infrastructure.

ACSR Conductors

Aluminium Conductor Steel-Reinforced (ACSR) conductors are high-capacity, high-strength, stranded power conductors commonly used in overhead transmission lines. Litmus Industries Limited produces a wide range of ACSR conductors in sizes from 20 to 500 SQMM and voltage ratings from 11 kV to 400 kV, making them suitable for medium- and high-voltage applications.

Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC)

Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC) — also known as aerial bundled cables — are overhead power cables consisting of several insulated phase conductors bundled together, typically with a neutral conductor. Litmus Industries manufactures ABC cables in sizes from 25 to 150 SQMM, designed for improved safety, reduced line losses, and efficient power distribution.

XLPE Covered Conductors

XLPE covered conductors are water-resistant, highly durable conductors with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and UV-resistant protective covering. Litmus produces XLPE conductors ranging from 55 to 150 SQMM, suitable for areas requiring enhanced safety and environmental protection.

Cables and Wires

LV Power Cables

Low-tension power cables are designed for distributing electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial units. These LV power cables are manufactured using high-quality copper and aluminium conductors for superior conductivity. They are available in single-core and multi-core power cable configurations ranging from 1.5 to 1000 sq mm, making them suitable for a wide range of low-voltage electrical applications.

House Wiring Cables

Litmus uses advanced German technology to manufacture premium house wiring cables, including FR, FRLS, concentric cables, and flexible twin-twisted cables used across Nepal. These house wiring cables, available from 0.75 SQMM to 16 SQMM, supply safe and efficient electricity to homes, offices, and industrial facilities.

3

Enamel Winding Wires

Enamelled copper winding wires are enamel-insulated conductors widely used in electrical equipment, motors, transformers, and industrial machinery. Litmus Industries Limited manufactures a range of enamel winding wires from 10 SWG to 35 SWG that comply with the IS:13730 manufacturing standard.

4

Paper Insulated Winding Cables

Paper-insulated copper or aluminium conductors are extensively used for winding coils in transformers, electrical machinery, and other high-temperature equipment. These paper insulated winding cables offer excellent electrical and thermal properties. Sizes range from 2mm to 4mm thickness and 6mm to 12mm width, suitable for robust industrial applications.
