Tata Power has commissioned two 400 kilovolt (kV) transmission lines, Tanda–Gonda and Gonda–Basti, forming a double circuit of 154 circuit kilometres under the South East UP Power Transmission Company Limited (SEUPPTCL) project. The company has now completed all Extra High Voltage transmission lines and substations under SEUPPTCL and its network comprises three 765 kV lines totalling 951 circuit kilometres, 14 400 kV lines totalling 566 circuit kilometres and three 765/400 kV substations with 3,460 MVA transformation capacity.

The commissioning of four assets—the 765 kV Mainpuri–Bara (380 circuit kilometres), the 765 kV Mainpuri–Unnao (194 circuit kilometres), and the 400 kV Tanda–Gonda and Gonda–Basti double circuit lines—will enable the safe evacuation of over 4,000 megawatts (MW) of thermal power generated within Uttar Pradesh. The project will support the state’s growing electricity demand while enhancing grid stability.

SEUPPTCL is part of Resurgent Power Ventures Pte.
