India Power Transmission Sector Expansion

planned

India's power transmission sector is projected to attract Rs 6 trillion in investments through 2032 to expand grid infrastructure for integrating rising renewable energy capacity. The project includes strengthening existing infrastructure, adding evacuation capacity, and developing new transmission routes to support generation centers. The Central Electricity Authority plans a transmission system to evacuate power from over 900 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2035-36, including 137,500 circuit kilometers of transmission lines and 827,600 MVA of substation capacity under the inter-state and intra-state transmission systems.
