Power Grid Corporation of India expects to capitalise projects worth about Rs 12,000 crore per year over the next few years. This will ensure that the company continues its growth momentum at more than 22-23 per cent per annum. The corporation currently wheels about 52 per cent of the country’s power evacuation capacity and is investing nearly Rs 60,000 crore more in nine major transmission lines. This capacity addition will further enhance the share of power supply grid as not much is coming in the private sector. The corporation owns and operates a transmission network of about 83,400 ckt km of transmission lines with a transformation capacity of about 93,400 mva.

In addition, Power Grid has firmed up major expansion of its power supply network over the next few years to meet the fresh capacity addition coming up. Private sector is likely to contribute to about 55 per cent of fresh capacity in XII Plan. The north eastern part of the country has a high hydel power generation capacity. PGCIL is implementing a 6,000-MW HVDC bi-pole line from north eastern region to northern region. With double circuit, this could go up to 12,000 MW.
