New Delhi: Hartek Group has secured a contract worth ₹138 crore from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd ( POWERGRID ) for developing a 400kV AIS Substation under the Transmission Scheme for integration of renewable energy zones in Karnataka, the company said in a statement. The substation project—Package SS-66T—is part of the infrastructure required to integrate renewable energy from Davanagere, Chitradurga and Ballari Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) into the national grid. The contract was awarded through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route. The scope of work includes design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing at the manufacturer's works, supply, unloading, storage, erection, testing, and commissioning of the substation. 'We are honored to be entrusted with this critical infrastructure project by POWERGRID. The development of the 400kV AIS Substation under the TBCB route reinforces Hartek's expertise in delivering high-voltage transmission projects and aligns with our commitment to supporting India's renewable energy integration goals. This project will strengthen the national grid and accelerate the green energy transition ,' said Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director & CEO, Hartek Group. The substation is expected to enable the seamless evacuation of renewable energy generated in the Karnataka REZ and support India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. Hartek said the project would help in enhancing grid stability and reducing transmission losses. The company added that it continues to expand across power systems, renewables, and distribution infrastructure, with a growing portfolio aimed at supporting India's energy transition.

Hitachi Energy wins order from Power Grid to supply 30 units of 765 kV, 500 MVA single-phase transformers
Hitachi Energy India Limited has secured a significant order from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) to supply 30 units of 765-kilovolt (kV), 500 megavolt-ampere (MVA) single-phase transformers, marking a major step in India's push toward a more sustainable and robust energy future. 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.
