"This milestone highlights Hartek's commitment to further strengthen India's grid infrastructure with reliable, high-quality power solutions while enhancing transmission efficiency and supporting renewable energy integration to meet the country's growing energy demands," it added.

Commenting on the milestone, Simarpreet Singh, Group Executive Director & CEO, Hartek Group, said, "Securing this critical project from PGCIL marks a significant achievement for us and highlights our leadership in the Extra High Voltage (EHV) segment. It demonstrates our ability to deliver complex, large-scale transmission solutions that are essential to India's evolving energy infrastructure".

"This project is a vital addition to the nation's grid expansion efforts, and we are proud to contribute to reliable power delivery and renewable energy integration. As we continue to grow, projects like these strengthen our market position and reinforce our commitment to excellence in the power sector."
