RECPDCL Hands Over Two Power Transmission Projects

REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL) handed over two project-specific Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for inter-state transmission projects to the respective successful bidders on 29 July 2026.

The SPVs handed over were Bhadla Ramgarh Power Transmission Limited to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited and Shongtong Power Transmission Limited to Terralight Solar Energy Tinwari Private Limited.

Both successful bidders were selected through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process conducted by RECPDCL as the Bid Process Coordinator, and the projects will be developed on a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis.

Bhadla Ramgarh Power Transmission Limited pertains to the inter-state transmission project “Augmentation at Bhadla-III, Ramgarh PS and Kanpur (PG)”. The project broadly envisages augmentation of the 400/220 kV Bhadla-III Pooling Station, 765/400 kV Ramgarh Pooling Station and 765/400 kV Kanpur Pooling Station, along with associated works.

The project is scheduled for implementation by 20 January 2029 at an estimated cost of Rs. 1,035 crore.

Shongtong Power Transmission Limited pertains to the inter-state transmission project “Transmission system for evacuation of power from Shongtong Karcham HEP (450 MW) and Tidong HEP (150 MW)”. The project broadly envisages establishment of a 400/220 kV GIS Jhangi Pooling Station in Himachal Pradesh, 400 kV Jhangi PS to Wangtoo double-circuit line of 50 kms, 400 kV Panchkula to Wangtoo line of 175 kms, along with other associated works.

The project is scheduled for implementation within 30 months at an estimated cost of Rs. 2,286 crore.

The handover of the SPVs marks a significant milestone in the development of these inter-state transmission projects, which will play a crucial role in the country's power transmission infrastructure.

RECPDCL, a wholly owned subsidiary of REC Limited, a Maharatna CPSU under the Ministry of Power, has been instrumental in the development of these projects.

The successful bidders, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited and Terralight Solar Energy Tinwari Private Limited, will be responsible for the development and implementation of the projects.

The completion of these projects will enhance the country's power transmission capacity and contribute to the growth of the power sector.

In conclusion, the handover of the SPVs for the Bhadla Ramgarh and Shongtong power transmission projects marks a significant step forward in the development of India's power transmission infrastructure.
