05 Dec 2025 CW Team

The Noida power department is set to begin a major overhaul of the city’s electrical infrastructure by the end of December 2025. Approved earlier in July, the programme will replace ageing cables and poles, strengthen transformers and upgrade substations. The project has been allocated Rs 970 million, with surveys now complete and tenders to be issued shortly. The upgrade is scheduled for completion by March 2026.

In parallel, Noida will benefit from a broader modernisation initiative under the national Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme and SCADA rollout. Over the next three years, the city has been earmarked Rs 13.13 billion for long-term infrastructure upgrades. Of this, Rs 8.92 billion will be directed towards system augmentation, Rs 3.96 billion will support SCADA installation, and about Rs 250 million will go towards integrating smart technologies.

These improvements include new 33/11 kV substations, strengthened distribution networks, modern transformers, control rooms and real-time monitoring systems. The projects aim to address both rapidly expanding areas along the Noida Expressway and older sectors with outdated infrastructure.

Authorities expect the combined initiatives to reduce outages, improve voltage stability and support rising demand from residential, commercial and industrial consumers. The modernisation push forms part of a wider effort to strengthen electricity distribution, improve reliability and build a future-ready power network capable of supporting Noida’s long-term growth.
