The project of this leading private sector power transmission infrastructure developer and solutions provider, worth $223 M (INR 1,662 crore), is carried out in Madhya Pradesh. Its goal is to evacuate 1,320 MW of power generated by the Khargone Power Plant to 765 kV Khandwa substation to further distribute it downstream across Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Goa, Daman & Diu, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli.

With the completion of the 765 kV D/C Khandwa – Dhule transmission line, all the elements in the project are complete and charged.
