India is rapidly upgrading its urban and industrial landscape with smart street lighting, safer electrical networks, and high-performance telecom connectivity. However, decades of dependence on steel poles have resulted in recurring challenges: corrosion, heavy maintenance, high replacement costs, and complex installation.
Helipole, a subsidiary of CNC Technics, is leading India’s shift toward next-generation FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Poles, offering Street Light FRP Poles, Electrical Distribution FRP Poles, and FRP Communication/Telecom Poles that are engineered for zero corrosion, long life, rapid installation, lighter weight, and unmatched reliability.
Delivering Advanced, Future-Ready Infrastructure Solutions
Helipole has been diligently transforming India’s poles and towers industry with innovative composite engineering and a solution-driven approach. The firm has highly developed filament-wound FRP composite pole technology, designed with aerospace-grade precision to deliver high performance. These poles offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, complete non-conductivity, and excellent corrosion resistance. They are perfectly suited for smart cities, coastal regions, highways, industrial hubs, ports, and premium urban environments. They are 50–60 percent lighter than steel, can be installed crane-free, deployed faster, and ensure simpler logistics even in congested, remote, or challenging terrain.
They are especially useful in the lighting sector (NHAI & street lights), telecom sector, solar lights, and various infrastructure projects.
One of the most notable features of FRP poles is their total electrical safety, which is particularly beneficial in power distribution networks and street lighting systems. Along with functional superiority, their sleek, modern, and aesthetically polished design enhances the visual appeal of smart cities, corporate campuses, and airports.
The poles are engineered based on diverse lighting and electrical distribution requirements and offer long service life, zero corrosion, and maintenance-free performance advantages over traditional steel and concrete poles.
Helipole’s manufacturing process is based on a highly controlled filament winding technology, ensuring uniform strength throughout the pole body, high mechanical performance, and an extended operational life compared to conventional infrastructure materials. The advanced engineering provides excellent resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and harsh weather, ensuring reliable performance across diverse environments.
Each pole is thoroughly validated and tested in an in-house laboratory with respect to major international standards. Sample poles are also sent to NABL-accredited testing labs, such as CPRI, from time to time, ensuring long-term safety and reliability. The lightweight nature of FRP poles significantly reduces transportation challenges and eliminates the need for heavy machinery, enabling time-sensitive smart city and infrastructure projects to achieve rapid execution with minimal manpower and downtime.
Sustainability and customer safety remain central to Helipole’s philosophy. The use of rust-proof, UV-stable, fatigue-resistant materials ensures zero maintenance, a 25–30 year service life, and the lowest total cost of ownership. Rahul Bandaru, Founder & Director, Helipole highlights, “We don’t see Helipole as just a product line. It is a complete infrastructure solution engineered for safety, reliability, and longevity”.
Leading India Into the Composite Era
Helipole is leading India’s transition from traditional steel poles to modern composite infrastructure. With two manufacturing plants in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad, the Helipole team is continually increasing production capacity to meet the rapidly growing domestic and global demand for corrosion-free and maintenance-free FRP poles.
The firm is also working with global partners to co-develop next‑generation pole technologies in regions where composite poles are yet to be introduced. After successful deployments in India and ongoing testing in markets such as Japan, the United States, and the Middle East, Helipole is now preparing to expand into new international regions with solutions that meet global standards and performance expectations.
The firm aims to redefine reliability and sustainability for the next generation of urban and industrial development by creating fit‑and‑forget i infrastructure.
