IndiGrid has achieved notable progress in the energy sector. The project was awarded formal energization permission in 2024 and has been operated on a Build, Own, Operate and Maintain (BOOM) basis for 35 years.
The KTL project includes 10 bays with an approximately 18-kilometer-long LILO (Line In Line Out) multi-circuit transmission line, as well as a substation with two 500 MVA capacities and 400/220 kV voltage levels. The Dharashiv area of Maharashtra needs infrastructure to evacuate 1 GW of electricity from renewable sources, which would improve the state’s transmission capacities and make the integration of green energy easier.
IndiGrid was given an augmentation project for KTL in November 2022 with the goal of facilitating an extra 1 GW of renewable power evacuation under the Regulated Tariff Mechanism (RTM), which is a key step toward strengthening renewable energy infrastructure.
After implementing KTL successfully, the company entered the greenfield transmission project market and went on to secure five more contracts in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and New Delhi. The CEO and Director of IndiGrid, Harsh Shah, expressed excitement about the project’s launch and emphasized its significance for the trust’s expansion as well as for India’s goals for renewable energy. Shah highlighted KTL’s contribution to the evacuation of 2 GW of renewable energy.
