Gujarat’s 400kV Banaskantha, Kansari, and Vadavi Transmission Lines have been put into service by Sterlite Power’s Mumbai UrjaMarg Transmission Ltd (MUML). According to a business statement, the high voltage transmission line would aid in the transfer of about 1000 MW of renewable energy from the pooling station at Bhuj in northern Gujarat to the national grid.
Furthermore, the transmission line, which was completed four months earlier than expected, would greatly increase the state’s available power transmission capacity, increasing it from 9300 MW to 11200 MW.
Gujarat’s contribution to India’s renewable energy capacity is about 12 GW, compared to India’s total of 90 GW. Gujarat wants to install more than 67 GW of renewable energy by 2030, thanks to its robust energy infrastructure.
