en.Wedoany.com Reported - Tata Power Company Limited has won a major transmission project in India. The company announced on June 19, 2026, that it has received a Letter of Intent from REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of REC Limited, to acquire the special purpose vehicle (SPV) — Ryapte Power Transmission Limited — established for developing a key transmission network project in Karnataka.
The project, developed under the Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model, aims to strengthen the state's power evacuation infrastructure and meet growing electricity demand. With an annual transmission charge of INR 5.2107 billion, the project is considered a significant addition to Tata Power's transmission portfolio.
According to the project plan, Tata Power will construct and commission approximately 250 kilometers of transmission infrastructure, including a 400 kV double-circuit transmission line, a 220 kV double-circuit transmission line, and a 220 kV underground cable system. These facilities will enhance power transmission capacity and grid reliability in the region.
The project also includes the development of two new substations in Karnataka. One is located at Ryapte in Tumkur district, a 400/220 kV Air Insulated Substation (AIS) with a capacity of 5×500 MVA, equipped with two 125 MVAr, 400 kV bus reactors. The second is located at Doddathaggalli near Hosakote, a 400/220 kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) with a capacity of 3×500 MVA, also including two 125 MVA, 400 kV bus reactors.
The transmission lines will connect several key substations in Karnataka, linking the Ryapte substation to the proposed Doddathaggalli GIS substation, and also connecting the existing Kolar substation to Doddathaggalli. Additionally, the 220 kV line and underground cable system will connect Doddathaggalli to existing substations at Ekarajapura, Hosakote, and Sarjapura.
Tata Power stated that the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) for the project is 30 months from the effective date of the SPV transfer. Upon commissioning, the company will provide transmission services for a period of 35 years.
The company clarified that the contract was awarded by a domestic entity and does not involve any promoter, promoter group, or related party interests. The disclosure was submitted to the stock exchange by Company Secretary Vispi S. Patel. This project marks another step for Tata Power in expanding its transmission infrastructure business and contributing to strengthening India's power network.
