Adani Energy Solutions Commissions Khargar-Vikhroli Transmission Line

With an aim to enhance Mumbai's power infrastructure, Adani Energy Solutions (AES) has commissioned the Khargar-Vikhroli transmission line. This move is expected to integrate Mumbai into the 400 KV national grid.

The Kharghar Vikhroli Transmission Limited (KVTL) project is likely to address the need for additional power capacity to cater to the city's growing electricity demand. The existing transmission corridor had reached its capacity limit.

KVTL encompasses approximately 74 circuit kilometre of 400 kV and 220 kV transmission lines, accompanied by a 1,500 MVA 400kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) at Vikhroli. This GIS substation, covering an area of approximately 9,500 square meters, marks a first in Mumbai and plays a pivotal role in enhancing the city's power infrastructure.

Notably, the project incorporates six towers across creeks and specialised horizontal towers within urban areas. These additions provide essential redundancy and stability to the power supply, a much-needed improvement for Mumbai.
