Hitachi Energy wins order from Power Grid to supply 30 units of 765 kV, 500 MVA single-phase transformers
As India accelerates its energy transition—driven by increased renewable energy integration and widespread electrification—the demand for power transformers has grown rapidly, rising at a rate of 15% per year over the past two years. This order reflects the industry's shift from short-term project planning to long-term infrastructure programs aimed at strengthening the national grid.
The 765 kV UHVAC transformers play a critical role in enhancing grid efficiency, reliability, and security. Once operational, these transformers will support power transmission equivalent to the average electricity consumption of 30 million Indian households, while also reducing transmission losses, lowering operational costs, and improving access to affordable electricity.
Manufactured at Hitachi Energy India's facility in Maneja, Vadodara (Gujarat), the transformers will align with POWERGRID's transmission expansion timelines and contribute to Make in India efforts. This local production underscores the company's commitment to supporting India's self-reliant energy manufacturing goals.
In a parallel global achievement, Hitachi Energy recently completed successful testing of the world's first 765-kV/400-kV, 250 MVA natural ester-filled transformer. The use of biodegradable ester oil enhances fire safety and sustainability, setting new benchmarks in green power grid solutions.

Power Grid Corp. of India rises Friday, underperforms market
Power Grid Corp. of India Ltd. 532898 shares inched up 0.14% to 294.10 Indian rupees Friday, on what proved to be an all-around favorable trading session for the stock market, with the BSE SENSEX Index 1 rising 0.23% to 83,432.89. Power Grid Corp. of India Ltd. closed 19.69% below its 52-week high of 366.20 rupees, which the company reached on September 25th. Now that the megabill has passed, expect a ton of short-term debt to be sold to finance the government's deficit 'I'm single': At 70, I have $500,000 in stocks and $220,000 in savings. How do I invest my $130,000 windfall? 'Today is my 61st birthday': I have my ex-spouse's Social Security benefits. Should I retire at 65 and travel? 'I do all the yard work, cooking and cleaning': I live with my daughter and her lazy boyfriend. She wants me to buy her house. Do I say yes? My wife and I are in our late 60s. Do I sell stocks to pay our $30,000 credit-card debt — or do it gradually over 3 years? The stock demonstrated a mixed performance when compared to some of its competitors Friday, as Tata Power Co. Ltd. TATAPOWER rose 0.28% and Gujarat Industries Power Co. Ltd. 517300 fell 0.74%. Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. JINDALSTEL fell 0.37%. Trading volume totaled 573,674, compared to the 50-day average of 354,312. My wife and I have $7,000 a month in pensions and Social Security, plus $140,000 cash. Can we afford to retire? 'Finance makes me break out in hives': I inherited $240K from my parents. Do I pay off my $258K mortgage and give up my job? The Dow and Russell 2000 are joining the stock market's party. Is it a game changer for the bulls? My job is offering me a payout. Should I take a $61,000 lump sum — or $355 a month for life? We're living in 'end times' when you can't retire on $1 million Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
