RINFRA Commissions Gujarat WRSS Transmission Line

Reliance Infrastructure Limited has commissioned another 400 kV Double Circuit transmission line, part of country’s first 100% privately owned transmission project in India on Build, Own and Operate (BOO) basis. This line has been constructed in the Western Region between Limdi (Chorania) and Ranchodpura (Vadavi) passing through three important business districts of Gujarat – namely Surendernagar, Ahmedabad and Mehasana.

103 Kms long 400kV double circuit Limdi – Ranchodpura transmission line is a part of the Western Regional System Strengthening (WRSS) project having an outlay of about Rs 1,400 crore and a total length of 1,500 Kms. RInfra’s wholly owned subsidiary company, Reliance Power Transmission Ltd. (RPTL) had recently commissioned first line of the project, Solapur – Karad transmission line, in Jan 2011, much before the scheduled commissioning in a record time of 15 months. Company is expected to commission the complete project by the Q2FY12. Once commissioned, the project would facilitate the free flow of 4,000 MW from power rich Eastern region to the power starved Western region of the country and would benefit all regional utilities.

Currently, RInfra is executing 5 transmission projects spreading across almost all parts of the country with a total project outlay of over Rs 6,600 crore. The Company owns 2 out of 5 Ultra Mega Transmission projects awarded to private sector till date, making RInfra as the largest developer of transmission projects in private space.
