Reliance Power Transmission Ltd, a SPV of Reliance Infra has commissioned the 311 km Pune-Parli transmission line. The line is part of the 1,500 km Western Region System Strengthening Scheme II, and will connect industrial centres of Maharashtra like Pune, Aurangabad and Beed.
This is India’s first 100 per cent privately owned interstate transmission project of the National Grid. On completion, it will enable evacuation of surplus power of 4000 MW from the eastern part of the country to the Western region.
To be executed at a cost of Rs 1,700 crore, the WRSS project was awarded to Reliance Infra through a tariff based international competitive bidding process. It has been executed on a build, own and operate pattern.
In Maharashtra, Reliance Infra has commissioned four lines (of six) under the project. The sixth and the last line is between Pune and Aurangabad, and is expected to be commissioned soon, the company said in a filing to the BSE.
At present, Reliance Infra is executing five transmission projects across the country involving total outlay of Rs 6,600 crore.
