Facilitation - mode push to fast-track high-voltage corridor stretch
8A manpower-focused package under Indian power projects targets a critical 12 km chainage in a 765 kV interstate link under Power Grid’s WR-1 plan, aiming to synchronise delayed sections through expedited tower erection and stringing.
8The WR-1 segment of a 765 kV double-circuit line gets a dedicated execution package where contractors, under Indian power projects, work in facilitation mode to speed up lattice tower assembly and conductor stringing.
8A high-voltage transmission stretch under WR-1 follows a manpower-driven execution model designed to bring the chainage in line with adjoining completed sections, reflecting the urgency often seen in large Indian power projects.
8Unlike earlier full EPC scopes, this tender structure limits contractor responsibility to erection and stringing, with supply clearances and site readiness managed by the project owner a shift that highlights evolving facilitation practices in Indian power projects execution.
8Such facilitation-mode tenders are increasingly becoming part of Indian power projects strategy to overcome bottlenecks in critical high-voltage corridors.
Multi-substation EPC tender for 110/11KV and 110/33KV package sees long extension window
8KPTCL’s composite substation package covering new 110kV-class installations at two southern Karnataka sites has seen its bid deadline pushed by over a year. The three-part tender includes transformer bays HT cabling and an alternate 66kV supply point
8One tender three sites and six 20 MVA transformers—KPTCL’s new EPC bundle merges 110/11kV and 110/33kV installations across Nekkilady and Kuthlur with backup interconnection at 66kV. Subcontracting scope could attract hybrid civil-electrical players
8In addition to standard substation build the package demands 66kV alternate sourcing works—hinting at grid redundancy planning in load centres. The build includes feeder cabling trenching SCADA-ready switchgear and HT protection relays
8Though designed for 110kV 66kV use hardware specs demand insulator strings and clamps suited for 220kV impulse withstands—indicating readiness for higher voltage retrofit or interconnects.
