Vikran Engineering Limited, one of India’s leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies in the power transmission sector, has secured a new order aggregating approximately ₹120.69 Crore exclusive of GST from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) for the 400 kV GIS Substation Package SS-147. The order, awarded through Domestic Competitive Bidding, reinforces the Company’s position as a preferred EPC partner to India’s central transmission utility and adds a marquee project to its growing order book.
The scope of work covers the design, engineering, manufacture, testing, supply, erection and commissioning of Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) equipment for augmentation of transformation capacity at three strategically important POWERGRID substations – the 400/220 kV Magarwada GIS Substation in Dadra & Nagar Haveli, the 765/400/220 kV Vadodara GIS Substation in Gujarat, and the 400/220 kV Rajgarh Substation in Madhya Pradesh. The project entails Construction of 400/220kV GIS bays and allied works, to be executed under two integrated contracts covering supply of Goods and Services.
The augmentation of transformation capacity at these key nodes is expected to strengthen the interregional power transmission network, enhance grid reliability and improve power evacuation capability across Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. By reinforcing critical transformation infrastructure at these substations, the project will support the rising power demand from industrial and commercial growth in the region, while strengthening the resilience and future-readiness of India’s National Grid.
Commenting on the order win, Mr. Rakesh Markhedkar, Chairman & Managing Director, Vikran Engineering Limited, said: “Winning this order from POWERGRID is a testament to the confidence our clients continue to place in Vikran Engineering’s engineering capabilities and execution track record. This project reinforces our longstanding relationship with POWERGRID and strengthens our footprint in the high-voltage GIS substation segment, an area where we continue to build deep technical expertise. As India’s power demand continues to rise, augmenting transformation capacity at critical transmission nodes becomes essential to grid stability and reliability. We remain committed to delivering this project with the same quality, precision and timely execution that our clients have come to expect from us, while continuing to strengthen our order book and expand our presence in the transmission EPC space.”
