Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) has secured a major win in the power transmission sector. The company has been declared the successful bidder under the Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process for establishing an Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) project in Uttar Pradesh.
The project, titled “Transmission System for Evacuation of Power from Pumped Storage Projects in Sonbhadra District, Uttar Pradesh,” will be developed on a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis. POWERGRID received the Letter of Intent (LoI) on September 4, 2025.
As part of the project, POWERGRID will set up a new 765/400 kV pooling sub-station, carry out bay extension works at upcoming substations, and build 765 kV transmission line infrastructure across Uttar Pradesh.
This development further strengthens POWERGRID’s position as India’s leading power transmission company and supports the government’s focus on renewable energy integration and large-scale power evacuation systems.
