MSETCL to Develop ₹560 Crore Musalgaon Power Transmission Project in Maharashtra
REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of REC Limited, has handed over Musalgaon Power Transmission Limited, a project-specific Special Purpose Vehicle, to Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (MSETCL).
MSETCL emerged as the successful bidder through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process conducted by RECPDCL as Bid Process Coordinator, for developing the intra-state transmission project on a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis. The SPV was formally handed over by RECPDCL General Manager (Engineering) Ratnesh Kumar to MSETCL Chief Engineer (TBCB) Amit R. Naik.
The project involves setting up a 220/132/33 kV Air Insulated Substation at Musalgaon, along with a 220 kV double-circuit transmission line of around 111 km connecting Musalgaon with the Babhaleshwar and Raymond substations. It also includes a 132 kV double-circuit line of around 13 km from Musalgaon to Sinner, along with associated infrastructure works.
The project is scheduled for completion within 12 months and involves an estimated investment of ₹560 crore. It is expected to strengthen Maharashtra's power transmission network and support the state's growing electricity infrastructure requirements.
