Power Grid Acquires Two Project Special Purpose Vehicles From PFC Consulting

Power Grid Corp has acquired two project Special Purpose Vehicles, Sirohi Transmission Ltd and Beawar-Mandsaur Transmission Ltd, from PFC Consulting Ltd., the company announced on Thursday. 

These SPVs will implement key transmission systems in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, including new 765/400 kilovolt sub-stations, 765 kilovolt and 400 kilovolt double circuit transmission lines, and associated bays extension works. Both projects are slated for completion within 24 months.

The projects, developed through tariff-based competitive bidding conducted by PFC Consulting , will enhance India's transmission infrastructure to support the evacuation of green energy to the National Grid.
