GR Infra's ₹367 Crore Win Boosts Renewable Energy in MP

GR Infraprojects has been declared the lowest (L-1) bidder for the development of a transmission system to evacuate power from renewable energy (RE) projects in Rajgarh (1,500 MW) SEZ – Phase III and Neemuch (1,000 MW) SEZ – Phase II in Madhya Pradesh.

The project was awarded through tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) and will be implemented on a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer) basis, with a completion timeline of 24 months from the acquisition of the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), and an operation and maintenance period of 35 years. The project includes an annual transmission charge of ₹3,670.73 million.

Key infrastructure components include:

Establishment of a 2x500 MVA, 400/220 kV substation at Handiya, along with 2x125 MVAr 420 kV bus reactors

Creation of a new 220 kV Bus Section-II at Neemuch Pooling Station (PS)

Augmentation of transformation capacity at Neemuch Substation by installing the third, fourth, and fifth 500 MVA, 400/220 kV ICTs, along with associated bays

Construction of four 220 kV line bays at Neemuch PS to facilitate renewable energy integration

This project is a key step toward enhancing transmission infrastructure and enabling the seamless integration of large-scale renewable energy into the national grid, supporting India’s clean energy transition goals.
