How to Choose the Best House Wire for Your Project
Step-by-step guide to choosing the right house wire in India — check copper purity, flame resistance grade (FR vs FRLS vs FRLSH vs ZHFRLS), ISI certification and wire size for your application.
Use Fire Resistant House Wires
For home wiring, buyers increasingly prefer cable that reduces flame spread and smoke during electrical faults. Safety claims and certification matter more than the cheapest upfront option.
Check Copper Purity and Standards
Pure copper conductor, ISI compliance, insulation quality and manufacturing traceability are core decision points when comparing house wire brands in India.
Match the Wire Family to the Application
ZHFRLS and EBEAM options suit premium safety-first projects, while Heat Shield and FRLSH ranges serve everyday residential, commercial and contractor use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NISHAD wires, our technology, and certifications.
What is NISHAD Heat Shield wire?
NISHAD Heat Shield is a flame retardant PVC insulated house wire with 99.97% pure copper. It uses RLSH (Reduced Low Smoke Halogen) technology and triple layer protection, ISI certified under IS-694 for maximum fire safety in residential and commercial buildings.
What is the difference between UltraGuard and Heat Shield wires?
UltraGuard uses ZHFRLS with EBEAM cross-linking; Heat Shield uses flame retardant PVC with RLSH. UltraGuard suits high-safety environments while Heat Shield offers excellent fire protection at a lower price. Both feature 99.97% pure copper and triple layer protection.
Are NISHAD wires ISI certified?
Yes. All NISHAD wires are ISI certified under IS-694 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The company also holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and CMIL approval (License No. CMIL-0992092).
What sizes are available in NISHAD wires?
NISHAD wires come in 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.0, 6.0 and 10.0 sq mm sizes. Both UltraGuard ZHFRLS and Heat Shield PVC variants are available across all sizes.
Why is 99.97% pure copper conductor important in wires?
99.97% pure copper gives better conductivity and less heat buildup than CCA wires. This means improved energy efficiency, longer wire life and lower electricity bills.
What does flame retardant mean in wires?
Flame retardant insulation self-extinguishes when the fire source is removed. This prevents fire from spreading through wiring. Both Heat Shield and UltraGuard wires are flame retardant.
What is EBEAM technology in NISHAD UltraGuard wires?
EBEAM (Electron Beam) cross-links insulation at the molecular level. This makes the wire more heat resistant and mechanically stronger, withstanding higher temperatures without melting.
What is Indrason wire?
Indrason is a wire brand under NISHAD Cables offering FRLSH PVC insulated triple layer multistrand FR cables. It features 99.97% pure copper, ISI certification and ultra protection technology for homes, offices and industrial use.
What is the difference between NISHAD and Indrason wires?
Both are made by the same manufacturer. NISHAD UltraGuard and Heat Shield are premium lines, while Indrason offers FRLSH flame retardant wires at competitive pricing. All share 99.97% pure copper, triple layer protection and ISI certification.

Which wire is best for house wiring in India?
For house wiring in India, fire resistant wires with ISI certification (IS-694) and pure copper conductor are recommended. Use 1.5 sq mm wire for lighting circuits, 2.5 sq mm for power sockets, and 4.0 sq mm or above for heavy appliances like AC, geyser and water heater. NISHAD UltraGuard (ZHFRLS) and Heat Shield (FRLSH) wires meet all these requirements with 99.97% pure copper and triple-layer protection.
What is the difference between FR, FRLS, FRLSH and ZHFRLS wire?
FR (Flame Retardant) wire self-extinguishes but produces smoke. FRLS (Flame Retardant Low Smoke) reduces smoke emission. FRLSH (Flame Retardant Low Smoke Halogen) further reduces toxic halogen gases. ZHFRLS (Zero Halogen Flame Retardant Low Smoke) eliminates all halogen content, making it the safest option for enclosed spaces. NISHAD UltraGuard uses ZHFRLS technology while Heat Shield and Indrason use FRLSH grade.
What size wire do I need for AC, geyser or heavy appliances?
For air conditioners (1.5 ton), use 4.0 sq mm wire. For geysers and water heaters, use 4.0 sq mm wire. For washing machines and refrigerators, 2.5 sq mm is sufficient. For induction cooktops and microwave ovens, use 4.0 sq mm. Always use ISI certified fire resistant wire with pure copper conductor for heavy appliance circuits.
How to check if electrical wire is original or duplicate?
Check for the ISI mark (IS-694) printed on the wire insulation at regular intervals. Verify the BIS license number on the manufacturer's website. Original wires have the brand name, size, and voltage rating printed clearly. Pure copper wire has a bright reddish color — if the conductor looks dull or yellowish, it may be copper-clad aluminium (CCA). NISHAD wires carry ISI certification and CMIL approval (License No. CMIL-0992092).
What is the price of 1.5 sq mm and 2.5 sq mm house wire per coil?
NISHAD house wire prices per 90-metre coil: 1.5 sq mm Heat Shield wire starts at ₹3,848, 1.5 sq mm UltraGuard ZHFRLS at ₹4,630. For 2.5 sq mm, Heat Shield starts at ₹6,146 and UltraGuard at ₹7,510. Indrason FRLSH wires are available at competitive pricing. Prices vary by dealer — use the Get Quote button for current bulk rates.
