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.
