Tata Power Company on Friday, January 9, 2026, announced the successful commissioning of the 400/220 kV TP Jalpura–Khurja transmission line and the Metro Depot Substation at Greater Noida, adding 1,000 MVA of transformation capacity to reinforce power infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh and the Northern Grid.

According to the company, the newly commissioned assets will help meet rising electricity demand in Greater Noida and the wider National Capital Region. Surplus power from the system will also be fed into the Northern Grid, supporting electricity requirements across other northern states.

The intra-state transmission project has been executed through TP Jalpura Khurja Transmission Limited, formerly known as Jalpura Khurja Power Transmission Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power. The commissioning marks the first milestone under the Jalpura–Khurja Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding project, the company said.

Tata Power noted that the project was completed on schedule, highlighting its execution capabilities in large-scale linear infrastructure projects. With this addition, the company’s transmission portfolio has expanded to 7,047 circuit kilometres of transmission lines that are operational or under execution across India.

The commissioning further strengthens Tata Power’s role in India’s electricity transmission network and supports regional load growth through improved grid reliability and resilience.
