BHEL signs contract with Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission
Apr-03-2025

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) in consortium partnership with Hitachi Energy India, has signed a contract with Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission, a 100% subsidiary of Adani Energy Solutions (AESL) to design and execute 6,000 MW, ±800 kV, bipole and bi-directional high-voltage direct current (HVDC) terminals to transmit renewable energy from Bhadla in Rajasthan to the industrial and transport hub in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh.

Expected to be established by 2029, this HVDC link will significantly contribute towards the national mission to achieve 500 GW of power from Renewable Energy by 2030. Notably, a strong HVDC system ensures bi-directional power flow control and grid stability to meet India’s rapid pace of renewable energy integration. This project demonstrates BHEL’s sustained commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Govt. of India.

For this project, among other equipment and systems, BHEL will supply Converter Transformers, Shunt Reactors, Filter Bank Capacitors, MV Switchgear & Instrument Transformers from its Bhopal Plant and Thyristor Valves from its Electronics Division, Bengaluru. These valves will be used to convert AC Power at Bhadla into DC power for transmitting it over a HVDC transmission line of over 950 kms and then converting it back to AC at the Fatehpur end to evacuate power. Besides these, the company’s Transmission Business Group will design, supply and install the mega size 765 kV/400 kV power evacuation system at the Fatehpur terminal and 400 kV AC sub-station at Bhadla and Bhadla Extension. 

Bharat Heavy Electricals is an Indian central public sector undertaking and the largest government-owned power generation equipment manufacture.
