Additionally, the installation of a 1×330 MVAr 765 kV Bus Reactor (2nd) and augmenting the transformation capacity at Lakadia PS with a 1×1500 MVA, 765/400 kV ICT (3rd) is also part of the scope.

Bidders must meet specific criteria, including experience in developing infrastructure projects with an aggregate capital expenditure of at least ?5.1 billion ($60.91 million) and a net worth of no less than ?2.5 billion ($29.85 million).

Recent activities in the sector include PGCIL securing an ISTS project for 5.5 GW of renewable energy evacuation from Rajasthan and Adani Energy being awarded transmission works for 7 GW of renewable energy, underscoring the growing demand for efficient transmission solutions in India’s renewable energy landscape.
