Sterlite Tech commissions Tata Power's transmission project

NEW DELHI: Transmission solutions provider Sterlite Technologies today said it has upgraded power transmission capacity of existing IIT Powai to Saki line in Mumbai.

"Sterlite Technologies has completed installation and commissioning of a project in Mumbai requiring upgradation in the power carrying capacity for a critical line of Tata Power," the company said in a statement.

Sterlite executed this turnkey project for Tata Power. The project involved rendering of services like design, supply and installation of high capacity, high strength carbon composite core conductors on an existing critical arterial 22 kV line delivering power to a number of industrial customers and a local college, the statement said.

This solution has resulted in an increase in the power transmission capacity of the existing IIT Powai to Saki transmission line that criss-crossed over a thickly populated slum area comprising closely spaced hutments and hilly terrain, the statement added.
