Helicrane
• Sterlite Power, one of India’s largest power transmission sector players, has announced commissioning of the 414 km long Northern Region Strengthening Scheme 29 (NRSS 29), its flagship project critical for meeting the power requirements of the state of Jammu & Kashmir.
• The ₹3,000 crore project executed by NRSS XXIX Transmission Limited, the PSV of Sterlite Power, includes commissioning of three 400 kV Double Circuit transmission lines and one 400/220 kV GIS Substation to deliver over 1,000 MW of electricity from Punjab to the Kashmir Valley by strengthening the National Grid.
• The transmission line—conceived by the government back in 2012—will improve access to power in the Valley by augmenting the State’s power transmission capacity by at least 33 per cent, the company noted
• The line has been commissioned two months ahead of schedule despite terrain challenges, the company said adding that it used helicranes in the Pir Panjal range to overcome challenges of high altitude, snow and inaccessible terrains.
