With an aim to ensure smooth intrastate transmission of power, Delhi power minister Satyendra Jain inaugurated a 220 KV substation at Tughalkabad on Monday.
“The substation and its associated transmission network have been established by Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) with an investment of Rs 145 crore. The transmission capacity of the substation is 320 Mega Volt Amp (MVA), a senior DTL official said.
The official said that the substation has been linked with 400 KV ring around Delhi at its Bamnauli - Ballabhgarh section as well as with existing 220 KV substations at Badarpur, Masjid Moth, Okhla and Mehrauli to further smoothen the intrastate transmission of power.
“Its linking with 400 KV ring has enabled us to bring 2000 MVA power coming from outside Delhi to South and West Delhi,” he said adding that with the commencement of substation many areas such as Tugalkabad, Malviya Nagar, Okhla, Saket, Sangam Vihar, Vayusenabad, Batra Hospital and their adjoining areas will be benefitted.
