Infravision Expands Into India With Rights to Drone-Assisted Stringing Across 25,000 km of Transmission Lines
The Australian-American grid construction company secured a right of first refusal for mechanical stringing across roughly 25,000 kilometers of Indian transmission projects, claiming about 50% labor reduction against conventional methods.
Grid construction technology company Infravision has expanded into India, securing a right of first refusal to perform mechanical, drone-assisted conductor stringing across approximately 25,000 kilometers of transmission line projects, the company announced via Business Wire on 6-9 November.
The Australia- and US-based company says its aerial stringing method cuts stringing labor requirements by roughly half compared with conventional ground-based methods, and reduces line-outage time — claims that are vendor-reported. India is undertaking one of the world's largest grid build-outs, making it the largest single market the company has entered.
The expansion marks transmission construction joining the list of infrastructure categories where the selling point is technology-led delivery of finished work rather than equipment or tools — a business model increasingly visible across drone-based infrastructure services.
