In a significant stride towards gender inclusivity and women empowerment, Power Grid has inaugurated its 220/66 kV Chandigarh Process Bus-based Digital GIS Sub-station as a “Pink Substation.” This development marks a milestone as it becomes the first greenfield substation in Power Grid’s Northern Region-II to adopt process bus technology while pioneering the Pink Substation initiative.
The Pink Substations initiative underscores Power Grid’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. These substations are exclusively operated and managed by women executives, reflecting the company’s dedication to promoting gender equality. The newly inaugurated substation in Chandigarh is under the leadership of Power Grid’s Chief Manager, Simrit Powar.
This initiative aligns with Power Grid’s recognition as one of the best places for women to work, consistently highlighted by industry benchmarks. By establishing women-led operations in traditionally male-dominated sectors like energy and infrastructure, Power Grid aims to inspire and empower women in leadership roles.
Through these efforts, the company not only enhances its operational capabilities but also sets a precedent for inclusivity, paving the way for a more equitable workforce in the future.
