| Description |
The objective of the Project is to help strengthen and develop India's national transmission grid, comprising 765 kV and 400 kV transmission lines and associated substations, to improve system reliability, facilitate interstate and interregional power transfers by removing transmission bottlenecks, reduce transmission losses, facilitate efficient utilization of existing and planned power plants, facilitate development of a national power trading market, and hence promote increased private sector participation through open access to the national transmission grid.

Progress Toward Outcome |
|
National transmission grid strengthened and expanded with transmission bottlenecks removed and losses reduced.
|
1. Availability of transmission grid at 99% or greater by 2012 - in 2010, the availability of national grid is maintained at 99.55%.
2. Transmission losses in the range of 3-4% in 2006-07 - in 2010, the transmission losses are less than 4%.
Remarks - achieved the target.
