Scheme to strengthen power transmission in South
By Our Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI,
OCT. 14.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved an investment of Rs. 285 crores for strengthening the power transmission system in the Southern region. The project is expected to help particularly Bangalore in getting a more reliable power supply.
Announcing the decision, the Union Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, said the project envisaged establishment of a 400 kV DC transmission line from Raichur to Gooty, which would serve as a trunk corridor for transfer of bulk power from the Eastern to the Western region through Parli-Raichur-Gooty-Hiriyur-Mysore.
This would help strengthen the existing transmission network in Southern region to cater to growth in installed capacity and power demand and provide for a more reliable power supply to Bangalore through 400 kV Neelamangala-Somanhally transmission line.
The Union Cabinet, which met here on Wednesday, he said, has also decided to make the Consultancy Development Centre under the Ministry of Science and Technology as an autonomous institution with a view to giving further boost to consultancy services.
