Tata Power has commissioned the second element of its Jalpura-Khurja transmission project in Uttar Pradesh, India, adding 162 circuit kilometres (CKM) of 400kV lines and a 1,000MV-ampere (MVA) substation.
The Indian integrated power company is delivering the scheme through TP Jalpura Khurja Power Transmission (TPJKPTL), a wholly owned subsidiary.

The newly energised element consists of a 400kV double-circuit line running from Khurja to Jalpura, made up of two circuits of roughly 81km each, together with a 400/220kV gas-insulated substation at Jalpura offering 1,000MVA of transformation capacity.
Khurja is an important power node in Western Uttar Pradesh and has a strategic role in moving electricity towards Noida and the wider National Capital Region (NCR).
The new corridor establishes a high-voltage link between the two locations, while the Jalpura substation is intended to function as a major gateway, stepping power down from the 400kV grid to the 220kV network.
According to Tata Power, the additions will help meet rising electricity requirements across the NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh, and are expected to improve the reliability, resilience and efficiency of the regional transmission system. The company said the assets support the next phase of growth in those areas and contribute to wider efforts to build a robust and future-ready national grid.
Tata Power added that the project reinforces its capabilities in developing large-scale critical power infrastructure and its commitment to supporting India’s shift towards a more reliable and resilient transmission network.
Its Indian transmission holdings have now reached a combined 7,900CKM of lines, counting both those already in service and those still under execution.
The latest milestone follows Tata Power’s announcement in March 2026 that it had commissioned two further lines in Uttar Pradesh: the 400kV Tanda–Gonda and 400kV Gonda–Basti double-circuit lines, which together span 154CKM.
That development completed all extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission lines and substations under the South East UP Power Transmission Company project. The resulting network comprises three 765kV lines totalling 951CKM; 14 400kV lines totalling 566CKM; and three 765/400kV substations with a combined 3.46GV-amperes of transformation capacity across the state.
Separately, Tata Power reported in June that REC Power Development and Consultancy, wholly owned by REC, had issued it with a letter of intent covering the acquisition of the Karnataka-based Ryapte Power Transmission project.
