Sterlite Power, one of India’s largest power transmission players, said it has commissioned the 414-km-long Northern Region Strengthening Scheme 29 (NRSS 29), which will handle power supply to Jammu & Kashmir.

The Rs. 3,000-crore project, executed by NRSS XXIX Transmission Ltd, the project specific SPV of Sterlite Power, includes the commissioning of three 400 kV double circuit transmission lines and a 400/220 kV GIS substation to deliver over 1,000 MW of electricity from Punjab to the Kashmir valley by strengthening the national grid.

The transmission line - conceived by the government back in 2012 - will improve the State’s power transmission capacity by at least 33 per cent, the company noted.

In 2014, Sterlite outbid Power Grid Corporation of India to bag the project quoting the lowest levelised transmission. Post commissioning, the company will operate and maintain the transmission line for at least 35 years.

The line has been commissioned two months ahead of schedule despite terrain challenges, the company said, adding that it used helicranes in the Pir Panjal range to overcome high altitude, snow and inaccessible terrains.

According to Pratik Agarwal, Group CEO, Sterlite Power, the NRSS 29 project fits the company’s vision of executing projects addressing the toughest challenges of energy delivery.
