India | Power Transmission | 13 November 2026

Karnataka's renewable energy infrastructure received a major boost with the inauguration and foundation-laying of four power transmission projects representing investments exceeding ₹10,370 crore.

The completed Koppal-II and Gadag-II renewable energy transmission scheme, developed at approximately ₹4,450 crore, is designed to facilitate the evacuation of around 2 GW of renewable generation.

A separate ₹1,370-crore transmission scheme in Bidar will support the evacuation of 2.5 GW of solar electricity.

Two additional transmission developments were taken forward in the Davanagere, Chitradurga and Ballari renewable energy regions. These include a project valued above ₹3,450 crore and another transmission strengthening scheme exceeding ₹1,100 crore.

Together, the projects are intended to improve grid connectivity, accommodate additional renewable generation and strengthen electricity transmission capacity.

The developments provide significant opportunities for transmission equipment suppliers, electrical engineering firms and related infrastructure contractors.

Project status: Two schemes inaugurated; foundation stones laid for two additional schemes.
