Vikran Engineering Bags INR 120.69 Crore POWERGRID Contract for 400 kV GIS Substation Expansion

Vikran Engineering, an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) company, has secured a new order aggregating approximately INR 120.69 Crore exclusive of GST from Power Grid Corporation of India for the 400 kV GIS Substation Package SS-147. The order, awarded through Domestic Competitive Bidding adds a marquee project to its growing order book.

The scope of work covers the design, engineering, manufacture, testing, supply, erection and commissioning of Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) equipment for augmentation of transformation capacity at three strategically important POWERGRID substations – the 400/220 kV Magarwada GIS Substation in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, the 765/400/220 kV Vadnagar GIS Substation in Gujarat and the 400/220 kV Rajgarh Substation in Madhya Pradesh. The project entails construction of 400/220kV GIS bays and allied works under two integrated contracts covering supply of goods and services.

The augmentation of transformation capacity at these key nodes is expected to strengthen inter-regional power transmission, enhance grid reliability and improve power evacuation capabilities across Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.

Commenting on the order win, Rakesh Markhedkar, Chairman and Managing Director, Vikran Engineering, said, "Winning this order from POWERGRID is a testament to the confidence our clients continue to place in Vikran Engineering’s engineering capabilities and execution track record. This project reinforces our long-standing relationship with POWERGRID and strengthens our footprint in the high-voltage GIS substation segment.”

He further added, “As India’s power demand continues to rise, augmenting transformation capacity at critical transmission nodes becomes essential to grid stability and reliability. We remain committed to delivering this project with the same quality, precision and timely execution that our clients have come to expect from us, while continuing to strengthen our order book and expand our presence in the transmission EPC space."

The successful completion of this landmark project further strengthens Vikran Engineering's position as a trusted partner in developing India's critical power infrastructure. The company continues to execute complex transmission and substation projects across diverse geographies, delivering engineering excellence across challenging terrains while supporting India's expanding energy needs and accelerating the development of reliable, sustainable, and future-ready power networks.
