Hartek, a leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company in the power and renewable infrastructure sector, has secured a significant contract worth ₹138 crore from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (POWERGRID). The contract pertains to the development of the 400kV AIS Substation Package SS-66T, awarded under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route. The substation is part of the larger Transmission Scheme for the integration of renewable energy from the Davanagere, Chitradurga, and Ballari Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) in Karnataka into the national power grid.
The project scope includes comprehensive turnkey execution—covering design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing at the manufacturer’s works, supply (including transportation and insurance), unloading, storage, erection, site testing, and final commissioning of the 400kV AIS Substation. Once operational, the substation will play a key role in facilitating the transmission of green energy, enhancing grid stability, and enabling efficient delivery of renewable power from Karnataka’s REZs to the wider network.
This development is a strategic step towards achieving India’s renewable energy target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. The substation will not only support increased renewable energy integration but also improve transmission efficiency by reducing losses and lowering operating costs. It contributes to making clean energy more accessible and affordable for millions of consumers while strengthening the grid’s flexibility and resilience in handling growing industrial and renewable demands.
Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director & CEO, Hartek Group, said in a statement, “We are honored to be entrusted with this critical infrastructure project by POWERGRID. The development of the 400kV AIS Substation under the TBCB route reinforces Hartek’s expertise in delivering high-voltage transmission projects and aligns with our commitment to supporting India’s renewable energy integration goals. This project will strengthen the national grid and accelerate the green energy transition, contributing meaningfully to the nation’s sustainable growth story.”
With this project, Hartek continues to demonstrate its capabilities in executing critical transmission infrastructure and reaffirms its role in powering India’s clean energy transition. The company’s expanding footprint across power systems, renewables, and power distribution reflects its commitment to delivering innovative, timely, and high-quality solutions aligned with national sustainability goals. Hartek remains a trusted partner in building future-ready energy infrastructure that supports a cleaner, more reliable power ecosystem.
