AREVA T&D - 02.01.2010

AREVA’s Transmission and Distribution (T&D) division has recently won two major orders from the Delhi Transco Limited (DTL), for 220/33 kV GIS substations, to be installed at H.C Mathur Lane and AIIMS Trauma Centre in Delhi. Both turnkey orders include design, engineering, manufacturing, testing and commissioning of 220/33kV GIS substation packages.

Delhi Transco Limited is the State Transmission Utility for the National Capital Territory of Delhi. It is responsible for the transmission of power at 220 kV and 400 kV levels and for upgrading, operating and maintaining the Extra High Voltage network. The existing DTL network consists of a 400 kV ring around the periphery of Delhi interlinked with the 220 kV network spread across the city. The combined approximate value of the orders is around 1100 MINR (€17 million) and both are scheduled for completion by the end of 2010.

Commenting on the order, Rathin Basu, Country President & Managing Director of AREVA T&D India said, “Developing transmission networks is key to making Delhi a global capital city. The DTL orders are a significant landmark in strengthening the power backbone of National Capital Delhi for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in 2010. They also demonstrate AREVA’s expertise in offering specialized GIS technology in India.”
