BHEL-Hitachiv secures Khavda-Nagpur HVDC project from Power Grid

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) and Hitachi Energy India have jointly secured the contract for the Khavda-Nagpur High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) project from Power Grid Corporation of India. The project, awarded on behalf of Power Grid's Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), involves designing and executing 800 kV, 6,000 MW, 1,200 km HVDC terminal stations to evacuate renewable energy from Gujarat’s Khavda region to Nagpur in Maharashtra.

Set to be completed by 2029, this landmark project is India’s first HVDC transmission initiative tendered through the tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) process. It includes bi-directional parallel HVDC bipoles and associated AC substations for efficient power evacuation.

The Khavda-Nagpur project is a crucial part of the interstate transmission system (ISTS) designed to evacuate 8 GW of renewable energy under Phase V: Part A of the Khavda Renewable Energy Zone in Gujarat. It supports India’s broader goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy generation and transmission capacity.
