Voltamp Transformers Ltd expects to complete the construction of its new transformer manufacturing facility by July 2026.

India’s ambitious solar expansion is currently facing significant challenges due to a severe shortage of transformers.

Toshiba Transmission & Distribution Systems (India) Pvt Ltd is planning to expand its transformer manufacturing capacity by roughly 1.5 times.

KEC International’s new orders include projects in the Middle East, Australia, and the Americas.

The projects will have a cumulative capacity of 3.5 GW.

The plant will be bulit in Surendranagar, Gujarat, fitting with India’s plan to build at least 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy output by 2030.

Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has granted transmission licence to Solapur Transmission Ltd for an interstate transmission system (ISTS) scheme.

Two transmission schemes to transmit 9 GW of renewable power have been approved by the Indian government.

The funding includes almost $819.5 million for the installation and commissioning of 1 GW of offshore projects, 500 MW each off the coast of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.

For Halvad, the licence is final while for Pachora it is subject to no objections received to a public notice that the developer will issue.

The scheme is scheduled to be commissioned within a timeframe of 24 months from the date of award.

The line will augment electricity transfer from India and Nepal, currently taking place mostly through the 400 kV Muzaffarpur-Dhalkhebar cross-border line.

The company was contending for this project alongside two bidders.

In each of the projects, PGCIL was contending with Adani Energy Solutions Ltd and Sterlite Power.

The project is officially called “Transmission system from Rajasthan REZ Phase-IV (Part 1) (Bikaner Complex): Part C” and is scheduled to be commissioned in 24 months from the date of SPV transfer.

The transmission project involves the construction of a 400 kV double-circuit, around 100 km long.

The project could become the planet’s largest power plant regardless of the energy source.

50% of the transmission lines have been damaged due to strong winds, resulting in prolonged outages in large areas.

The project is Indigrid’s first greenfield project and consists of a substation and 18 km multi-circuit line.

The scheme is officially named “Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part-2: 5.5 GW) (Jaisalmer/ Barmer Complex): Part A”.

Both projects are located in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

The projects are worth INR7436 crore ($900 million).

State power utility Madhya Pradesh Power Transmission Company Ltd (MPPTCL) has enhanced the capacity of its Dongrital substation by energizing a new transformer.
