Indian Masterminds Stories

Maharatna PSU Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), in collaboration with Hitachi Energy India Limited, has secured a major contract from Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL). The project involves the design and implementation of a 6,000 MW, ±800 kV, bi-pole and bi-directional High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system to transfer renewable energy from Bhadla in Rajasthan to Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh.

Scheduled for completion by 2029, this HVDC link will be instrumental in India’s goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. The advanced system will facilitate bi-directional power flow control, enhance grid stability, and seamlessly integrate renewable energy into the national grid, reinforcing BHEL’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

This marks BHEL’s fourth Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission contract. The company has previously executed the North-East Agra ±800 kV, 6,000 MW multi-terminal HVDC link and the Raigarh-Pugalur ±800 kV, 6,000 MW HVDC link. Additionally, BHEL is currently executing the Khavda-Nagpur ±800 kV, 6,000 MW HVDC link alongside Hitachi Energy India Limited.

Under this contract, BHEL will manufacture and supply key equipment, including converter transformers, shunt reactors, filter bank capacitors, medium-voltage switchgear, and instrument transformers from its Bhopal facility. Thyristor valves, essential for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) for long-distance transmission and back to AC, will be produced at its Electronics Division in Bengaluru. The HVDC transmission line will span over 950 kilometers, ensuring efficient power evacuation from Bhadla to Fatehpur.

BHEL’s Transmission Business Group will also be responsible for designing, supplying, and installing the extensive 765 kV/400 kV power evacuation system at Fatehpur, along with the 400 kV AC substations at Bhadla and Bhadla Extension.

With a strong track record in India’s HVDC infrastructure, including key projects like Rihand-Dadri, Chandrapur-Padghe, Ballia-Bhiwadi, North-East Agra, and Raigarh-Pugalur HVDC links, BHEL continues to lead in power transmission. The company’s expertise in turnkey Extra High Voltage (EHV) substations, HVDC converter stations, and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) further strengthens India’s energy security and grid modernization efforts.
