The National Committee on Transmission (NCT), under the Ministry of Power, has approved four new inter-state transmission systems (ISTS) valued at Rs 736.83 crore. The projects have been allocated to Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL), Adani Energy Solutions, and REC Power Development and Consultancy (RECPDCL)
In January this year, the committee sanctioned these transmission projects spanning Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan. NCT has entrusted PGCIL to enhance the transformation capacity of the Tumkur (Pavagada) pooling station in Karnataka by 2x500 MVA to 400/220 kV ICTs. This project, with an estimated cost of Rs 116 crore, will be implemented through the regulated tariff mechanism (RTM) mode, with a tentative implementation timeframe of 18 months
Adani's Jam Khambhaliya Transco & WRSS XXI A Transco have received approval for increasing transmission capacities at the Jam Khambhaliya pooling station in Gujarat, and the Lakadia substation under the Western Region Strengthening Scheme, at a cost of Rs 110 crore and Rs142 crore, respectively. The projects are expected to be completed by June 2027 and June 2025, respectively
The committee has also approved an additional transmission system to transport electricity from the Bhadla-III pooling station, a component of the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) Phase-III scheme, with a capacity of 20 GW. The project will be executed by RECPDCL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of REC, at an estimated cost of Rs 368.83 crore
Apart from this, NCT reviewed proposals for other new projects, and one of these involves augmenting the capacity of interconnective transformers at the 765/400/220 kV Mandsaur Substation in Madhya Pradesh. The project aims to improve connectivity to the pump storage projects of Greenko. NCT estimates that connecting to Greenko's pumped storage project (PSP) is possible within the present scope of construction. It also discussed the need for a transmission system for integrating the Nizamabad REZ (one GW) in Telangana
Considering the relatively short line length of around 30 km for the Nizamabad-II 765 kV D/c line, Central Transmission Utility of India (CTUIL)- a subsidiary of PGCIL, proposed that both the Nizamabad-II PS and the line should be at the rated voltage of 765 kV right at the initial stage. In November 2023, the NCT approved 10 new transmission projects worth over Rs 6,600 crore
