These projects are being executed through subsidiaries like POWERGRID Sirohi Transmission Limited and POWERGRID Neemuch Transmission System Limited. Emphasizing sustainable development, the Prime Minister highlighted the government’s commitment to expanding clean energy infrastructure.
As of April 30, 2025, POWERGRID operates 283 substations and over 1.80 lakh ckm of transmission lines with an impressive 99.81% system availability rate.
