Alstom T&D India has been awarded a contract worth approximately Rs 27.70 crore by Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation (HPPTCL) to supply a 66 kV gas, insulated substation (615) in Urni, Himachal Pradesh, in northern India. The project aims to transmit power from new generation sources into the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, paving the way towards harnessing 23000 MW of hydro power potential in the state.

The project scope includes design, engineering, manufacture, supply, testing, and commissioning of the 66 kV GIS, substation automation and control system. All equipment will be produced by Alstom's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities across India.

Himachal Pradesh, a mountainous state with five major rivers flowing through from the western Himalayas, is abundant in water resources. To harness the hydropower potential requires a reliable means to transmit the power to the end-consumer, without destabilising the network from power overload. Alstom's new BIS in Urni will draw in the power from new generation sources, including Hydropower, before transmitting into the grid.

GIS is the preferred technology for hydropower plants, difficult terrains such as mountains, coastal areas and cities. Its compact and enclosed design makes it ideal for smaller footprint and low maintenance applications. It is well-adapted for areas where space is scarce, such as cities and regions where cost of land is high.

Alstom T&D India's net profit rose 17.3% to Rs 62.24 crore on 19.3% growth in total income to Rs 1313.09 crore in Q4 March 2014 over Q4 March 2013.

Alstom T&D India is a market leader In the Indian power transmission sector.
