Furthermore, ATL has been awarded a contract for the Khavda-Bhuj project, which forms part of the country’s largest renewable evacuation system.

This contract will see ATL build around 220 circuit km of transmission line which will connect Khavda pooling station with Bhuj pooling station, as well as a 4,500MVA, 765kV gas insulated substation at Khavda.

The Khavda Bhuj project, with a capex of $159.6m  (Rs12bn), is expected to help evacuate about 3GW of clean power from Khavda, which is expected to be one of the largest hubs for Renewable Energy with 30,000MW installed capacity.

Sardana said: “We are pleased to be associated with the maiden evacuation system associated with one of the largest hubs of renewable energy being established at Khavda, Gujarat.

“This project will be the first to be implemented among the slew of transmission projects planned by Government of India for evacuation of renewable energy from the region. ATL is already the leader in building power transmission infrastructure in the private sector and this project will further strengthen our presence in Gujarat.”

ATL will build, own, operate and maintain the two projects for a 35-year period.

The firm said that the two contracts mark a step ahead in reaching its target of setting up 20,000 ckt km of transmission lines by 2022.

The work will also allow the company to contribute towards the government’s aim of attaining ‘Power For All’ by 2022.

Separately, fuel retailer Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to develop 10GW of renewable capacity by 2040.

This will see the two firms jointly pursuing opportunities in renewable energy space including solar, electric mobility, wind, hydrogen and waste-to-energy segments, according to

The two firms initially plan to install 1GW of renewable energy portfolio by 2025.
