Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) is moving closer to acquiring the Lakadia-II interstate transmission system (ISTS) scheme, having emerged L1 in the e-reverse auction (e-RA).
The bidder selection process for developing a greenfield 400/220kV GIS substation in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, under TBCB, has been initiated.
In the 1960s, a 10-MVA power transformer weighing 25 tonnes, manufactured by Hitachi, was transported by sea from Japan to Mumbai (then Bombay), completing its onward jourey to Indore in Madhya Pradesh by road. This is among the memorable aspects of the 132kV Polo Ground (Chambal) substation of Madhya Pradesh Power Transmission Company Ltd (MPPTCL), which has now completed 60 years of service.
