NTPC funds 13cr power infra upgrade for supply to Tandwa
1 2 Chatra: The Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL) will construct a 33 KV transmission line from Pakri Barwadih (Hazaribag) to Bukru substation to ensure reliable power supply to the industrial town of Tandwa. Two existing 5 MVA transformers at Tandwa and Bukru substations would be upgraded to 10 MVA each. NTPC PRO Mohini Kumari said the Rs 13 crore project will be funded under NTPC's Community Development initiative. Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL) will execute the project, with completion expected within 4-6 months. The foundation laying ceremony was attended by Chatra MP Kalicharan Singh, Simaria MLA Kumar Ujjwal, along with NTPC and JBVNL officials and local representatives from Tandwa block. At present, Tandwa receives power from the heavily loaded Barkagaon feeder in Hazaribag, resulting in irregular supply. Following an agitation led by the MP last year, authorities agreed to establish a dedicated feeder at Pakri Barwadih. JBVNL prepared the detailed project report, and NTPC agreed to fund the initiative. "Tandwa has been facing regular and prolonged load shedding. This project will ensure uninterrupted power supply to the region," said Singh.
