Bajel Projects Limited has successfully brought into service a major high-voltage transmission line in Andhra Pradesh, marking the completion of the 400 kV Ananthpuram–Kurnool double-circuit line designed to strengthen power transfer capabilities in the region.
The scheme, known as TL01 – Ananthpuram–Kurnool 400 kV D/C Line, was executed under a tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) framework administered by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) through its specially formed subsidiary, Powergrid Ananthpuram Kurnool Transmission.
This vital transmission corridor links the Ananthpuram Pooling Station with the Kurnool-III Pooling Station and is expected to improve grid stability while meeting rising electricity demand in the Ananthpuram and Kurnool districts. It forms part of a broader effort to enhance inter-state transmission infrastructure and ensure robust power flow reliability across Andhra Pradesh.
Under the project scope, Bajel Projects carried out the erection of 222 transmission towers and the stringing of around 171 circuit kilometres of conductors, delivering the infrastructure on schedule.
Commissioning this double-circuit line reinforces regional grid connectivity and supports future load growth as well as the integration of additional generation capacity. The implementation through a dedicated project vehicle reflects evolving industry practices to accelerate delivery of large-scale transmission assets efficiently.
With this milestone achieved, the enhanced transmission link will play a key role in powering economic activity and improving electricity supply reliability for consumers and industries across southern Andhra Pradesh.
