The order has been received for two air-insulated substation projects. The first order, worth Rs 66.9 crore, has been received to supply the 400 kV air-insulated substation at Suryapet in Nalagonda district. The second order, worth Rs 63.3 crore, has been secured to supply Kamavarapukota 400 kV air-insulated substation at West Godavari district. This substation has a transformation capacity of 2 x 315 MVA.
