India Approves High-Capacity Power Corridor to Connect Western Renewables with Eastern Demand
India has approved a 1,150-kilovolt power transmission corridor to connect renewable energy hubs in the west with industrial and urban centers in the east. Estimated at nearly Rs 68,800 crore (7.34 billion USD), the project aims to enhance electricity distribution with higher capacity and lower transmission losses compared to existing lines. The first phase will link Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal, supporting India’s goal of 500 GW non-fossil power capacity by 2030 and addressing rising eastern demand.
