As a follow up to the previous investments in the state, the project will undertake selected transmission system improvement, distribution system improvement and capacity building, said a notification from ADB.
MPKVVCL is seeking partnership from reputed international consultancy firms with regard to Madhya Pradesh transmission and distribution system improvement, critical for meeting the growing demand for power in Madhya Pradesh.
The main objectives of the project are to provide adequate transmission and distribution capacity to supply growing power demand; and reduce the system losses to ensure financial sustainability of the state power distribution companies.
The ADB, other development partners, and the government undertook a series of investments for expansion, upgrading and reconfiguration of the transmission and distribution networks since 2001. The ADB alone has approved about USD 1.37 billion worth of investment projects since 2001, mainly for transmission and distribution improvements. (KNN/ST)
