Chandigarh, November 28, 2018: Hartek Power, the engineering procurement construction (EPC) arm of the Chandigarh-based Hartek Group, has bagged a 400-kilovolt (KV) substation project from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL).

The project would spread over three states encompassing Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan. It will cater to a population of about seven crore and is scheduled for completion by February 2020, the company said.

The scope of work of the project entails complete execution of the substation package involving the conversion of fixed-line reactors into switchable line reactors with the purpose of curtailing outages.

PGCIL is heavily investing in upgrading low- and high-voltage substations to extra-high-voltage substations to ease pressure on transmission lines caused by rapid surges in electricity flow.
