Polywater Partners as Co-Host for Global Gathering of Cable Industry Leaders
Mumbai to Host One of the Most Comprehensive Conferences Dedicated to Cable System Reliability
On September 9-10, 2026, the spotlight of the global cable industry will turn to Mumbai as the Care4Cable International Conference 2026 opens its doors at the iconic Sahara Star Hotel. With Polywater joining as Co-Host and Sponsor, the conference is positioned to become a landmark event for professionals involved in the design, installation, testing, operation, maintenance, and asset management of cable systems. Bringing together utility leaders, cable manufacturers, EPC contractors, consultants, infrastructure developers, renewable energy experts, data center professionals, railway authorities, testing specialists, and technology innovators, the conference will serve as a powerful platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
Chairman’s Message Mr. Imteyaz Siddiqui Chairman, Organizing Committee
“Cables represent one of the most critical yet often overlooked assets in modern infrastructure. While significant attention is given to generation, transmission, substations, and equipment, the long-term reliability of cable systems depends equally on proper design, installation, testing, protection, and maintenance. Care4Cable was created with a simple vision: to bring together the collective wisdom of the industry and create a platform where experts can openly share knowledge, experiences, challenges, and solutions. The 2026 International Conference is an important step in that journey. We welcome professionals from across the world to participate, learn, network, and contribute to the advancement of cable engineering practices.”
Why This Conference Matters
Globally, billions of dollars are invested every year in underground power cables, renewable energy projects, industrial facilities, rail networks, airports, smart cities, and data centers. Yet investigations into cable failures repeatedly reveal a common pattern:
- Incorrect installation practices
- Excessive pulling tensions
- High sidewall pressures
- Water ingress through cable entries
- Inadequate sealing systems
- Improper testing methodologies
- Insufficient condition monitoring
- Lack of lifecycle asset management
The conference addresses these challenges by focusing on the complete cable ecosystem rather than isolated components. The objective is clear: Move from “installing cables” to “ensuring reliable cable systems.
