09 Mar 2026 CW Team

Jyoti Structures (JSL) has completed and commissioned the 400 kV Gadag–II transmission line project for ReNew Power in Karnataka. The project includes 100 circuit kilometres of twin HTLS transmission lines connecting Gadag Power Station and Koppal Power Station.

The transmission line passes through Gadag and Koppal districts, where the project team addressed challenging terrain, right-of-way constraints and difficult soil conditions, including stretches of black cotton soil.

The project forms part of the Interstate Transmission System developed to evacuate renewable energy from the Koppal Solar Energy Zone, which has an estimated generation capacity of 1,500 MW. The project has been implemented on a Build, Own, Operate and Maintain basis.

Rajesh Kumar Singh, CEO, Jyoti Structures Limited, said, “The successful completion of the ReNew Power transmission line was made possible through the sustained efforts and commitment of our project teams, who worked through challenging terrain and right-of-way conditions.”

The commissioning is expected to strengthen grid connectivity and support the efficient evacuation of solar power generated in the Koppal Solar Energy Zone to the national grid.
