Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL), a state-run transmission giant, has placed orders with GE T&D India for grid modernisation totalling approximately ₹370 crore. The orders are for 765 kV shunt reactors to be supplied by PGCIL for several transmission system projects in India. These initiatives seek to improve electricity transmission throughout the country, particularly in Rajasthan and Karnataka and allow the integration of renewable energy sources into the national electrical grid.
GE T&D India will provide the entire equipment package, including design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, installation, and commissioning of the 765 kV class reactors at the chosen transmission substation sites. The reactors are slated to be delivered in FY 26.
The company’s commitment to the Make in India initiative is demonstrated through the supply of critical grid products from its advanced manufacturing facilities located in Padappai, Hosur, Vadodara, Noida, and Pallavaram. “We are delighted to support PGCIL in the modernization of India’s grid infrastructure through the supply of locally manufactured equipment in alignment with the government’s Make in India initiative,” GE T&D India MD and CEO Sandeep Zanzaria said.
To date, the company has successfully manufactured and supplied over 600 critical grid products of 765 kV class from its power transformer facility in Vadodara to customers in India and abroad, solidifying its position as a leading manufacturer of such equipment in India, he added.
