REC Power Distribution Company Ltd. (RECPDCL) has officially transferred two Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL) for key power transmission projects in Rajasthan. This handover marks a significant step in advancing the development of critical infrastructure aimed at enhancing the state's power transmission network.

The SPVs, which were set up to oversee specific transmission projects, are crucial for improving the efficiency and reliability of power distribution in Rajasthan. The transfer to PGCIL, a major player in India's power transmission sector, will ensure that the projects benefit from the corporation's extensive experience and resources.

These projects are expected to play a vital role in strengthening the power transmission grid in Rajasthan, addressing current capacity constraints, and supporting the state?s growing energy demands. The upgrades will facilitate better power management, reduce transmission losses, and contribute to overall system reliability.

The collaboration between RECPDCL and PGCIL reflects ongoing efforts to enhance India's power infrastructure. By transferring responsibility for these projects to PGCIL, RECPDCL aims to leverage the latter's expertise to ensure successful project execution and timely completion.

This strategic move aligns with India's broader goals of upgrading its power infrastructure and achieving more robust and efficient energy transmission systems across the country.
