India, Madhya Pradesh: Sterlite Power on Thursday announced commissioning of the 765 kV Khandwa substation in Madhya Pradesh.
“Sterlite Power, a power transmission player, commissions the 765 kV Khandwa substation in Madhya Pradesh, which is part of the Khargone Transmission Ltd (KTL) project,” according to a statement by the company.
This will help in stepping down high-voltage 1,320 MW power from the Khargone Power Plant to further distribute it downstream to 50 million households across the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, it said.
So far, Sterlite Power has commissioned 5 out of 6 elements in the project – 765 kV substation at Khandwa, 765 kV DC Khandwa-Indore transmission line, 400 kV DC Khandwa-Khargone transmission line, 400 kV line-in line-out (LILO), and Dhule Bay Extension.
Sterlite Power won the $172 M (Rs 1,370 crore) Khargone transmission project in 2015 through a tariff-based competitive bidding process and is executing it under the build-own-operate-maintain model.
Sterlite Power is a leading developer of power transmission infrastructure with projects of over 13,670 circuit km and 24,800 MVA in India and Brazil.
