India could achieve 86 per cent of the targeted transmission line addition during the first seven months of FY21.

The country saw the addition of 8,094 ckm (circuit km) of new transmission lines during the first seven months (April to October) of FY21. This was around 86 per cent of the targeted 9,425 ckm for the period.

For the full year FY21, the targeted addition is 15,791 ckm. This implies that in the first seven months (or 58 per cent of the year), around 51 per cent of the target has been achieved. On this pro-rata basis, therefore, the progress in FY21 appears fairly on track.

The figures discussed above are aggregated across ownership groups and line voltages. However, when seen at a disaggregated level, the analysis throws up some interesting observations:
