Hitachi Energy India Limited has secured an order from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (Powergrid) for the supply of 30 units of 765 kV, 500 MVA single-phase transformers to support India’s growing power transmission infrastructure.
The transformers will be deployed to meet increasing electricity demand driven by renewable integration and electrification of key sectors. With demand for power transformers in India rising at 15 per cent annually over the past two years, utilities are shifting from project-based to program-based planning. The 765 kV units will be manufactured at Hitachi Energy’s transformer facility in Maneja, Gujarat.
