Adani Transmission Ltd (ATL) has fully commissioned four transmission schemes under the tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) route during FY23, according to a recent investor update filed by the company on stock exchanges.

Of the four schemes, one was an intrastate project in Uttar Pradesh, while the remaining three were interstate schemes.

The intrastate scheme in question is housed under “Obra-C Badaun Transmission Ltd” for the 2×660-mw Obra-C thermal power project of state government utility Uttar Pradesh Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (UPVUNL). According to available information, the Obra-C scheme involved the setting up of 765kV and 400kV, totaling some 625 ckm. Other elements included a 400kV GIS substation at Badaun.

The three interstate schemes commissioned in FY23 are housed under the following project SPVs:

 

 

According to a separate study by T&D India, six interstate TBCB projects were commissioned in FY23 and Adani Transmission topped the list with three.

 

Projects acquired in FY23

Adani Transmission won the development rights to two schemes under the TBCB route. Both these projects were won towards the end of the fiscal year, and related to interstate projects.

ATL acquired “Khavda II-A Transmission Ltd” after it emerged as the successful bidder under the TBCB mode. The ISTS project is officially termed as “”Transmission scheme for evacuation of 4.5 GW RE injection at Khavda Pooling Station under Phase·II – Part A”

Similarly, Adani Transmission also emerged as the successful bidder for “WRSR Power Transmission Ltd” – an interstate scheme with its scope described as “ISTS network expansion scheme in Western Region & Southern Region for export of surplus power during high renewable energy (RE) scenario in Southern Region.”

The project involves, among other elements, setting up of a 765kV double-circuit line between the New Narendra GIS substation (Karnataka) and the Pune GIS substation (Maharashtra), running around 340 km. (Read more)
