Adani Group company Adani Transmission Limited has won the bid for laying the transmission line for the 1980 megawatt (MW) Ghatampur thermal power plant in Uttar Pradesh.
Adani pipped two other bidders, including Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) and Kalpataru Power Transmission Limited by emerging as the lowest bidder for laying the transmission lines for the much-delayed power plant.

Ghatampur plant is being developed by a joint venture (JV) between central public sector undertaking Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited and UP Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited. Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Limited, Neyveli and Utpadan Nigam own 51% and 49% stake in the JV respectively.

The plant is estimated to cost Rs 156 billion, while the contract for laying 4 transmission lines for the unit has been awarded for a consideration of Rs 22.60 billion. The contract would be valid for 35 years and the state power utility would pay rent for using these transmission lines for relaying power.

The Yogi Adityanath cabinet last evening approved the name of Adani Transmission to develop the transmission lines for the Kanpur-based Ghatampur unit, which would feed energy to the Western UP and Agra regions.

The power plant is likely to go full steam by 2011, although a 660 MW unit is projected to be complete by November 2020, followed by two other 660 units by May 2021 and November 2021 respectively.
