Orders were received from a combination of sectors - from utilities, renewable industries, rail, infrastructure and data centers. Power Grid Corporation of India awarded an order to the consortium of Hitachi Energy India and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) to design and execute the high voltage direct current (HVDC) link to transmit renewable energy from Khavda in Gujarat to the industrial center of Nagpur in Maharashtra. As India underscores its commitment to economic development, the energy transition will be critical in ensuring sustainable and reliable electricity to power this growth. Deployment of technologies to make the grid flexible, digital, and secure will continue to be key drivers providing attractive medium to long term opportunities for power technologies, especially in our identified high-growth segments - renewables, HVDC, data centers, and electrification of transport.

The nation is also targeting 43 per cent of electricity consumption by renewables by 2030 (vs 23 per cent now).
