A consortium of Hitachi Energy India Ltd and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has been awarded a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission contract by Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission Ltd, a subsidiary of Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL).
As of 9:33 AM on April 4, 2025, Hitachi Energy India share price was trading at ₹12,364.80, a 0.20% down for the day, with a 6-month decline of 11.70% but a 79.95% gain over the past year. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) share price was trading at ₹220, a 0.60% up for the day, though down 17.86% over the past 6 months and 12.60% over the past year.
The project involves the development of a 6,000 MW, ±800 kilovolt (kV), bi-pole, bi-directional HVDC transmission link. The transmission system will connect Bhadla in Rajasthan to Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh, covering a distance of approximately 950 kilometers. This infrastructure is part of the national renewable energy evacuation plan and supports India’s target of reaching 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
The project includes the supply and installation of converter transformers, AC/DC control and protection systems, thyristor valves, 765 kV/400 kV grid connections, and auxiliary systems. Hitachi Energy and BHEL will jointly execute the design and delivery.
The link is scheduled for completion by 2029.
BHEL will manufacture components at its Bhopal and Bengaluru units. The Bhopal facility will supply converter transformers, shunt reactors, filter bank capacitors, medium-voltage switchgear, and instrument transformers. Thyristor valves required for current conversion will be produced at BHEL’s Electronics Division in Bengaluru. BHEL’s Transmission Business Group will manage the installation of the 765 kV/400 kV grid at Fatehpur and the 400 kV AC substations at Bhadla and Bhadla Extension.
This is the fourth Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission project awarded to BHEL. The company has previously executed the North-East Agra and Raigarh-Pugalur HVDC links and is currently working on the Khavda-Nagpur HVDC link in partnership with Hitachi Energy.
The project is part of India’s renewable energy transmission infrastructure and is to facilitate power transfer from a major renewable zone in Rajasthan to northern industrial hubs.
