Tata Power has successfully commissioned the second element of its Jalpura-Khurja Transmission Project in Uttar Pradesh, strengthening the state’s power transmission infrastructure and enhancing connectivity to the growing electricity demand centres across NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh.

Executed through TP Jalpura Khurja Power Transmission (TPJKPTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, the second element comprises a 400 kV double-circuit transmission line from Khurja to Jalpura spanning 162 Circuit Kilometres (CKM) and a 400/220 kV GIS substation at Jalpura with 1,000 MVA transformation capacity.

The 162 CKM transmission corridor comprises two circuits of approximately 81 km each and establishes a critical high-voltage link between Khurja and Jalpura. Khurja is an important power node in Western Uttar Pradesh, playing a strategic role in enabling efficient transmission of power towards NCR and Noida.

The newly commissioned 400/220 kV GIS substation at Jalpura, with 1,000 MVA transformation capacity, will serve as a major power gateway, enabling the transfer of power from the 400 kV high-voltage grid to the 220 kV network. This will support the region’s increasing power requirements while enhancing the reliability, resilience and efficiency of the transmission network.

With the commissioning of this transmission corridor and substation, Tata Power further strengthens the infrastructure required to support the next phase of growth in NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh, while contributing to the broader objective of building a robust and future-ready electricity grid for India. The project reinforces Tata Power’s capabilities in developing large-scale, critical power infrastructure and supports India’s transition towards a reliable, resilient and future-ready power transmission network.

Tata Power’s transmission portfolio now stands at 7900 circuit kilometres of lines operational and under execution across India.
