               HCL to manufacture optical fibre in India
              -------------------------------------------

	The public sector Hindustan Cables Ltd. has embarked on a
	project to manufacture optical fibre, which will be able
	to transmit 2000 telephone calls at a time. The capital
	cost of this project is put at 28.63 crores (Rs) with a
	foreign exchange component of 12.42 crores.
	Optical fibre has very low electromagnetic interference,
	is very compact and has very less cross-talk. It is expected
        to replace all coaxial cables and considerably improve 
	the quality of telecommunications in India.
