Bajel Projects Secures 765kV Pune East Substation Project in Maharashtra

Bajel Projects (Bajel), a Power Transmission and Distribution (T&D) EPC sector and a Bajaj Group company, has announced that it has bagged an order for the 765kV AIS New Substation Package in Maharashtra which reinforces Bajel's credentials into the 765kV substation class.

The order forms part of the ‘Network Expansion Scheme in Maharashtra for removal of Transmission constraints in Pune Region-I (765/400 kV AIS Pune East)’ — a critical grid reinforcement initiative aimed at strengthening one of India's most industrially significant load centres. The project involves the establishment of a new 765/400kV AIS Substation at Pune East, along with the extension of the existing 400kV Karjat (AIS) and 400kV Lonikand-II (AIS) Substations in Maharashtra.

Commenting on the order win, Rajesh Ganesh, Managing Director and CEO, Bajel Projects, said, "This order win marks a defining moment for Bajel as we strengthen our presence in the 765kV substation segment through a strategically critical project in Pune, one of the country's most important industrial hubs. The Pune East 765/400kV substation, together with the augmentation of Karjat and Lonikand-II, will play a pivotal role in removing transmission constraints in the Pune Region and strengthening Maharashtra's grid”.

This order adds further depth to Bajel's 765kV substation portfolio and reflects the Company's consistent track record of executing high-voltage transmission infrastructure projects of national importance.
