POWERGRID commissions 220 kV Kathalguri-Namsai transmission line
Itanagar, June 1 (UNI) In a major boost to the power infrastructure of the Northeast, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) has successfully commissioned the 220 kV Double Circuit (D/C) Kathalguri-Namsai Transmission System—five months ahead of schedule. The project, executed under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) framework, marks a significant milestone in strengthening the region's energy backbone. Spanning 71 km, the transmission line links NEEPCO's Assam Gas-Based Power Plant at Kathalguri to the state-of-the-art 220 kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) in Namsai, Arunachal Pradesh. The project also includes a bay extension at Kathalguri, Assam, ensuring enhanced operational efficiency. This development not only facilitates seamless power injection from the National Grid into Arunachal Pradesh but also improves voltage stability and system redundancy—critical for year-round reliable power supply. The new infrastructure is expected to play a vital role in supporting the developmental aspirations of the region. Lauding the achievement, Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein stated, "Kudos to PGCIL for their exemplary execution and unwavering commitment to the Northeast. This project is a cornerstone in our journey toward robust and reliable energy infrastructure." The successful early commissioning of this project underscores POWERGRID's expertise and dedication to advancing India's power transmission capabilities, especially in remote and challenging terrains like the Northeast.

L&T unit lands $571m GCC power project contracts
India's top engineering and construction conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has announced that its Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) vertical has secured power project orders - valued in the range of Rs25 billion to Rs50 billion ($285 million to $571 million) - from its prime GCC markets of Saudi Arabia and UAE. Confirming the significant orders, L&T said its PT&D vertical has clinched an order from Saudi Arabia for a 380kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS). The scope also includes associated reactors and installation of hybrid GIS Bays. In Abu Dhabi, UAE, the business has received an order for setting up a new 220/33kV grid station, along with associated jobs, said L&T in a statement. These repeat orders from PT&D's longstanding customers underscore the vital role played by L&T towards setting up efficient grid infrastructure across geographies, and thereby facilitating faster proliferation of renewable energy generation, it stated. In addition, the PT&D has bagged orders in India where it will be implementing 765kV and 400kV transmission line segments associated with a Renewable Energy Zone in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
