en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rajesh Power Services Limited (RPSL) has secured a contract worth INR 2.1168 billion (including taxes) from Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Limited (OPTCL) for the construction of a high-voltage underground transmission project in Odisha, marking a significant step in the company's expansion into eastern India.

Under the agreement, RPSL will execute the project on a full turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) basis, with the scope of work including design, engineering, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 220 kV single-circuit underground cable transmission line. This line will connect the 400/220/132/33 kV grid substation (GSS) at Mendhasal, Odisha, with the 220/132/33 kV GIS grid substation at Chandaka-B.

In addition to laying the underground transmission cables, the project includes the expansion of transmission infrastructure at both substations. RPSL will extend one 220 kV air-insulated switchgear (AIS) bay at GSS Mendhasal and one 220 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) bay at Chandaka-B. These expansions are expected to support the efficient operation of the transmission network and enhance power transmission capacity in the region.

This contract is one of the largest transmission-related orders the company has secured to date, and is expected to strengthen its order book and reinforce its position in the transmission sector. The project also highlights RPSL's growing expertise in handling complex transmission infrastructure projects and delivering turnkey EPC solutions.

This award marks the company's entry into Odisha and further broadens its geographic footprint in India's power sector, reflecting the trust of major transmission utilities in the company's technical capabilities and project execution experience.

The project is scheduled for completion within 24 months and, once finished, will contribute to the strengthening and modernization of Odisha's transmission network. The new order also supports India's broader goal of expanding and upgrading power infrastructure to meet growing energy demand and improve inter-regional grid reliability.
