Wireman (Electrical)

Trades

Wiremen in India are the licensed installation specialists of the electrical trades — they hold a state Wireman Licence from the Electrical Inspectorate and are legally authorised to carry out LT (low-tension) wiring installations in residential and commercial buildings under CEA Regulations 2010 and the Electricity Act 2003. The 2-year ITI Wireman trade (NCVT) is the primary entry path, distinct from the ITI Electrician trade: the Wireman trade focuses entirely on permanent wiring installations — concealed conduit wiring, distribution board fitting, ELCB/RCCB installation, earthing systems, and Form B completion certificates — rather than the broader maintenance and repair scope of the Electrician trade. Wiremen operate under the direct jurisdiction of the state Electrical Inspectorate (Karnataka CEI, Maharashtra CEI, Tamil Nadu Electrical Inspectorate, UP Electrical Inspectorate), and most states require a Wireman Licence before a solo contractor can legally install wiring and obtain a CEI completion certificate. Key standards governing the work: IS 732 (electrical wiring code), IS 3043 (earthing), CEA Regulations 2010 on installation and operation, and state-specific Electricity Supply Codes. The independent contractor path — starting with Class C Wireman Licence, upgrading to Class A/B Electrical Contractor Licence — is the primary income-growth engine in this trade. Primary employers and clients: real-estate developers (Brigade Group, Godrej Properties, Prestige Estates, DLF), infrastructure contractors (L&T, NCC, Shapoorji Pallonji MEP), housing-board projects (PMAY, state housing boards), and direct residential/commercial clients via word-of-mouth or Urban Company.
