India’s 1st cyclone-resistant 220kv transmission line commissioned in Odisha

Deccan Chronicle  

Empowertrans, a Bhubaneswar-based electrical engineering firm, has successfully commissioned India’s first cyclone-resistant 220kV double-circuit transmission line in coastal Odisha. The project, awarded to Empowertrans through competitive bidding by the Power Grid Corporation of India, involved replacing a cyclone-ravaged 26 km transmission line connecting PGCIL’s Pandiabili substation to OPTCL’s Samagara substation near Puri. The company also built eastern India’s first monopole tower-based transmission line with high-tension, low-sag conductors for India Power Corporation in Haldia. This cyclone-resistant transmission line represents a crucial step toward strengthening infrastructure in disaster-prone regions, aligning with Odisha’s commitment to resilient development.
