Resonia Ltd. has received the National Project Excellence Award for transmission infrastructure at the IPMA Global Project Profession Forum 2026, recognising the company’s execution of the Kishtwar Transmission Limited project in Jammu and Kashmir.
Located in the Chenab Valley, the project is designed to evacuate up to 3,014 MW of hydropower to India’s National Grid. Commissioned in December 2025 with an investment of ₹4.07 billion, the development strengthens the Northern Grid and supports renewable energy integration.
The project includes a 400/132 kV GIS substation featuring 400 MVA transformer capacity and 125 MVA reactor capacity, along with associated 400 kV transmission infrastructure. It serves as a critical pooling and evacuation hub, enhancing grid stability and reducing transmission constraints in the region.
Arun Sharma, CEO of Resonia, said the recognition reflects the company’s execution capabilities in challenging terrains and its commitment to improving grid reliability and advancing India’s clean energy transition.
The National Project Excellence Award acknowledges achievements in project management, innovation, and stakeholder engagement. The forum is an international platform highlighting impactful infrastructure initiatives across sectors.
Resonia Limited, formerly Sterlite Grid32 Limited, operates more than 13,671 circuit kilometers of transmission lines across India. The company deploys technologies such as helicranes and drones for remote surveying and monitoring to enhance efficiency and minimise environmental impact.
Sterlite Power Transmission Limited’s infrastructure business was demerged into Sterlite Grid 5 Limited effective October 08, 2024. Sterlite Grid 5 Limited later formed a joint venture with GIC of Singapore, after which transmission projects in India began execution under Resonia Ltd.
