MP Transco energises 13-km transmission line for Indore Metro Rail Project

 

 

 

Madhya Pradesh Power Transmission Company (MP Transco) has successfully constructed and energised a 13-kilometer composite transmission line for the Indore Metro Rail Project, based on a unique design developed at its Jabalpur headquarters.

 

This innovative design enabled the timely completion of the project despite challenging conditions and the line passing through densely populated areas. According to RK Agrawal, Additional Chief Engineer, MP Transco, the 132 kV double-circuit line from Jaitpura to the MR-10 substation is based on a specialized in-house design.

 

This design incorporates an innovative combination of narrow-base towers, monopole towers, km of underground cable. In addition, a 160 MVA power transformer has been installed at the Jaitpura 220 kV substation to ensure uninterrupted and reliable power supply for the metro network.

 

The project was executed under the supervision of MP Transco after the Indore Metro authority deposited the requisite funds. The Jabalpur-developed design not only resulted in significant savings of time and resources but also ensured a safe, efficient and technically robust power transmission solution for a challenging urban route.
