National Power Grid : A perspective
transmission plan has been evolved and put into implementation
by POWERGRID
for establishment of an integrated National Power Grid,
in a phased manner, for strengthening the regional grids
(five grids structured on geographical contiguity basis)
and to support the generation capacity addition program
of about 1,00,000 MW during X & XI Plans. Inter-regional
power transfer capacity of 9500 MW by the end of FY 04-05
is expected to be enhanced to 30,000 MW by year 2012. For
creation of such a National Grid, total investment requirement
in the central transmission sector during X & XI plan
periods has been envisaged to be about Rs. 71,000 Crore
(about USD 16 billion). Out of this, POWERGRID plans to
invest about Rs. 50,000 Crore (70%), while the balance
of Rs. 21,000 Crore (30%) is envisaged to be mobilized
