Gujarat’s 400kV Banaskantha, Kansari, and Vadavi transmission lines have been operational four months ahead of schedule, thanks to Sterlite Power’s Mumbai Urja Marg Transmission Limited (MUML).

From the pooling station at Bhuj in northern Gujarat to the national grid, approximately 1,000 MW of renewable energy will be transported with the aid of the high voltage transmission line. According to a statement from Sterlite Electricity, it will increase the state’s available power transmission capacity dramatically, increasing it from 9300 MW to 11200 MW.

This vital transmission line, which is a part of the larger Western Region Strengthening Scheme-XIX (WRSS-XIX) and North-Eastern Region Strengthening Scheme-IX (NERSS-IX), will also relieve strain on the regional network by relieving the 400kV D/C Banaskantha-Veloda, 400kV S/C Bhinmal-Zerda (Kansari), and 400kV S/C Kankrol (Kansari).

“By securing the timely completion of this crucial transmission line for the state of Gujarat, we are pleased to demonstrate our project execution capabilities. The transmission corridors are a vital piece of the country’s infrastructure since they link areas of electricity abundance with areas of power deficit. Additionally, as transmission projects are a key enabler of RE integration into the grid, their success is essential to India’s ambition for renewable energy. Director and CEO of India, Manish Agarwal.
