Indian Masterminds Stories

Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) has been awarded two substantial transmission projects under the Rajasthan Phase IV (Part 3: 6 GW) by securing Letters of Intent (LoIs). These projects, estimated to cost Rs 11,326 crore, are crucial for the evacuation of 6 GW of renewable energy from the Bikaner Complex, a major renewable energy hub in Rajasthan. The project is part of the government’s push to bolster India’s renewable energy capacity and ensure smooth transmission to key load centres in northern India.

The awarded projects are divided into Parts A and B and involve the establishment of advanced power infrastructure. The two primary components include the construction of new substations:

Bikaner IV Pooling Substation (765/400/220 kV) and Siwani Substation (765/400 kV), both substations will be equipped with cutting-edge Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) technology. This technology will significantly enhance the voltage stability and transmission efficiency within the grid, ensuring reliable power distribution across regions.

To support the large-scale evacuation of renewable energy, the projects will also include the construction of extensive transmission lines. This involves:

765 kV double-circuit (D/C) transmission lines across Rajasthan and Haryana.
Several 400 kV double-circuit transmission lines across Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana.


These projects will also include bay extension works at existing substations to expand and modernise the current grid infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration of renewable energy into the national grid.

The primary goal of these projects is to enable the efficient evacuation of an additional 6 GW of renewable energy from the Bikaner IV Complex. This power will be transmitted to critical load centres across northern India, contributing to the nation’s renewable energy targets and energy security. By improving the grid infrastructure, these projects will play a key role in addressing India’s increasing energy demand while promoting sustainable energy sources.

PGCIL’s participation in these projects is part of a larger initiative by the National Committee on Transmission (NCT) to enhance India’s power transmission capacity and help meet its ambitious renewable energy goals.
