Jharkhand plant to link with Barapukuria-Bogura line
TATA Projects Limited has forayed into Bangladesh’s T&D sector by securing a 400 KV Double Circuit Transmission Line project, valued at approximately Rs.900 crore (US$120 million), from Power Grid Company of Bangladesh Limited.
This 120-km length project from Barapukuria to Bogura has been secured on turnkey basis. The project will be executed in 30-months with funding by EXIM Bank India under Indian Line of Credit.
“We are proud to have secured this transmission line project in Bangladesh since it reaffirms our expertise and experience in executing world-class transmission and distribution projects. As reliable and world-class power transmission infrastructure is necessary for a nation’s development, we are keen to play a role in Bangladesh’s progress,” Desh Raj Pathak, Vice President – Projects (Transmission & Distribution), Tata Projects Ltd, said in a release on 11 Nov 2021.
The transmission line shall also result in expansion of high voltage transmission infrastructure in the northern parts of Bangladesh. It will also facilitate 1,600 MW power transmission from Power Plant based in Jharkhand to Bangladesh.
The entire transmission line will be constructed on Pile Foundation and will be strung 100% with High Tension Low Sag Conductor. This project is unique since such technologies have not yet been used in Bangladesh’s T&D sector.
