India's national power transmission network reached a significant milestone on January 14, surpassing 5,00,000 circuit kilokV and 1,407 GVA of transformation capacity.

This achievement was marked by the commissioning of a 628-km 765 kV transmission line connecting Bhadla II and Sikar II substations in Rajasthan’s Renewable Energy Zone. The new transmission line enhances the evacuation capacity by 1,100 MW, facilitating the integration of renewable energy from Fatehgarh solar power complexes into the national grid. Since April 2014, India's transmission network has expanded by 71.6 percent, adding over 2,000 km of transmission lines at 220 kV and above, significantly increasing the country's capacity to handle growing electricity demand.

The inter-regional power transfer capacity now stands at 120,340 MW, aligning with the “One Nation – One Grid – One Frequency” vision. The expanded transmission infrastructure will play a crucial role in supporting India’s target of scaling up non-fossil fuel power generation to 500 GW by 2030 while maintaining grid stability.
