Sterlite Power commissions NRSS 29

Sterlite Power has commissioned Northern Region Strengthening Scheme 29, two months ahead of schedule. The scheme, with a project cost of Rs 30 billion, connects the northern grid to Jammu & Kashmir. The project is capable of delivering an additional 1,000 MW to the Kashmir valley through a 414 km long transmission line that will augment the state’s power transmission capacity by at least 33 per cent. About one-third of the peak demand in Kashmir will be met through this route.
