India’s electricity transmission infrastructure has scaled new heights, crossing 500,000 circuit kilometers as per the latest Ministry of Power statement. Accompanying this is a transformation capacity of 1,407 GVA, reflecting accelerated development.
The pivotal moment arrived on January 14, 2026, when the 628 CKM 765 kV line from Rajasthan’s Bhadla II to Sikar II went live, bridging renewable-rich areas to national demand centers for optimized power flow.
It facilitates 1,100 MW extra transmission from Bhadla, Ramgarh, and Fatehgarh solar parks, enhancing efficiency in harnessing intermittent solar resources.
Since April 2014, expansions tally a 71.6% rise with 209,000 CKM of 220 kV+ lines and 876 GVA added. Inter-regional capacity at 120,340 MW has operationalized the unified grid vision.
Upcoming inter-state works will contribute 40,000 CKM and 399 GVA, while intra-state efforts add 27,500 CKM and 134 GVA, fortifying overall system reliability.
This infrastructure surge aligns with the 500 GW non-fossil target by 2030, empowering solar and wind adoption. The initiative underscores the commitment to reliable, cost-effective power supply nationwide.
