Tata Power has announced the successful commissioning of all Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission lines under the South East UP Power Transmission Company Limited (SEUPPTCL) project. This includes the 400 kV Tanda–Gonda and Gonda–Basti double circuit lines, which span 154 circuit kilometres in Uttar Pradesh. The completion of these lines marks a significant milestone in the project, which now includes three 765 kV lines totaling 951 circuit kilometres, fourteen 400 kV lines totaling 566 circuit kilometres, and three 765/400 kV substations with a transformation capacity of 3,460 MVA.
The financial terms of the project were not disclosed in the filing. However, the project is part of Resurgent Power Ventures Pte. Limited, a joint venture led by Tata Power, ICICI Bank, and global investors. This venture was formed to acquire stressed assets in the power sector, indicating a strategic financial move to enhance the company’s portfolio and operational capabilities in the transmission sector.
The scope of the SEUPPTCL project involved extensive planning and execution. It required the deployment of over 45,000 metric tonnes of tower steel and the stringing of more than 8,600 kilometres of conductors. The project also involved 139 critical crossings, including existing transmission lines, railway tracks, gas pipelines, highways, and rivers. Construction was carried out across forest areas in compliance with environmental and statutory norms. The newly commissioned transmission assets will enable the safe and reliable evacuation of over 4,000 MW of thermal power generated within Uttar Pradesh.
The project supports Uttar Pradesh’s growing electricity demand, enhancing grid stability and ensuring long-term energy security. With the commissioning of these seventeen 765 kV and 400 kV corridors spanning 1,517 circuit kilometres, Tata Power’s total operational transmission network has expanded to 5,466 circuit kilometres. An additional 1,863 circuit kilometres are currently under construction, highlighting the company’s expanding role in building and modernizing India’s high-voltage transmission infrastructure.
