Agra-Meerut power line put on execution mode

July 22, 2013

The high voltage transmission line of the Power Grid Corporation between Agra and Meerut was put on execution mode after a long wait. The 765 kV single circuit line will boost the power infrastructure in Western UP and a major part of the National Capital Region (NCR). Also, the foundation stone was laid for a 6000 MW transmission line. The 6000 MW high power transmission line will be one of the biggest project in the country.

The UP government last year had sanctioned Rs 1,500 crore for making separate feeder for rural areas in Eastern UP; Rs 1,451.89 crore for making the power distribution system most modern in six major towns – Lucknow, Moradabad, Saharanpur, Aligarh, Firozabad and Jhansi; Rs 1,831 crore for checking theft in 168 towns; Rs 221.67 crore for waiving the power dues of handloom and power loom weavers and Rs 800 crore for strengthening the power transmission network.
