Deliveries under the new order are expected to begin in 2026 and continue until the end of 2027.
Power Grid, India鈥檚 largest electric transmission utility, has placed this order as part of a bulk procurement strategy to bolster high-capacity RE corridors in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.
