Transmission System

Jaiprakash Hydro-Power Limited (JHPL), subsidiary of Jaiprakash Associates Limited will venture into the development of transmission systems with the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL).

The Memorandum of understanding between PGCIL and JHPL has been signed with the purpose of formation of a Joint Venture company to lay a 230 km (approx.) long transmission system to evacuate power from the 1000 MW Karcham-Wangtoo Hydro Electric Project in Himachal Pradesh. The project is located on river Baspa a tributary of River Satluj. The transmission line is to be completed by 2011 coinciding with the commissioning of the Karcham Wangtoo Project and is likely to cost Rs.10,000 million.
