Adani Energy Solutions secured a large power transmission project in Andhra Pradesh via the Centre's Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding mechanism.
Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) on Friday said it has secured an inter-state power transmission project worth about Rs 8,500 crore in Andhra Pradesh, strengthening its order book to more than Rs 80,000 crore.
The project, awarded under the Centre's Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) mechanism, is aimed at evacuating power for proposed green hydrogen and green ammonia projects in the Visakhapatnam region.
Titled "Transmission System for Proposed Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Projects in Vizag Area, Andhra Pradesh (Phase-I)," the project is designed to facilitate power supply for an estimated 4,500 MW of demand from upcoming green hydrogen and green ammonia facilities. It will also support rising electricity demand in the Pendurthi-Vizag region, where data centre and digital infrastructure investments are gathering pace.
The project will be implemented through a special purpose vehicle, Vizag Power Transmission Ltd, and includes the construction of a 765/400 kV GIS substation at Pendurthi (Vizag) and another 765/400 kV substation at Khammam-II.
With the addition of the project, AESL will expand its transmission portfolio by 1,582 circuit kilometres (ckm) of transmission lines and 10,500 MVA of transformation capacity. Its total transmission network will increase to 29,531 ckm, while transformation capacity will rise to 1,33,675 MVA, the company said.
"The Vizag transmission project is an important step in building the energy backbone for India's next generation of industrial growth. It will support the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia capacity in Andhra Pradesh, while also strengthening the grid for emerging digital infrastructure demand in the Pendurthi-Vizag region," AESL CEO Kandarp Patel said.
"As India advances towards a cleaner, more technology-driven economy, AESL remains committed to developing resilient, future-ready transmission networks that enable sustainable growth at scale," Patel added.
The company said the project is scheduled to be completed within 30 months.
