Transmission<br />
Transmission projects continue to be accorded a high priority in the context <strong>of</strong> the need to evacuate<br />
power from the generating stations to the load centres, system strengthening and creation <strong>of</strong> National<br />
Grid. POWERGRID’s transmission projects construction targets for the year 2003-04 and achievement<br />
are summarised below:<br />
Works Programme for the year Achievement upto % <strong>of</strong><br />
2003-2004 (Ckt. Kms.) March, 2004 Achievement<br />
800/400/220 kV 1580 2487 157<br />
EHV AC & 500 kV<br />
HVDC lines<br />
CENTRAL SECTOR TRANSMISSION<br />
POWERGRID, the ‘Central Transmission Utility’, is the sole agency responsible to establish the requisite<br />
transmission capacity in the central sector to match the generation capacity addition and encourage<br />
inter-state/inter-regional exchange <strong>of</strong> power to mitigate the situation <strong>of</strong> surplus/deficit <strong>of</strong> energy in various<br />
regions. POWERGRID’s transmission lines and sub-stations completed during the year 2003-04 are<br />
shown in the following table:<br />

TOWARDS FORMATION OF NATIONAL GRID<br />
POWERGRID has envisaged establishment <strong>of</strong> an integrated National <strong>Power</strong> Grid in the country by the<br />
year 2012 with an inter-regional power transfer capacity <strong>of</strong> 30,000 MW. A perspective transmission plan<br />
has been evolved for strengthening the regional grids with ultimate objective <strong>of</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> strong<br />
& vibrant National <strong>Power</strong> Grid in a phased manner to support the generation capacity addition program<br />
<strong>of</strong> about 1,00,000 MW during X & XI Plans. The major considerations followed while formulating such a<br />
perspective plan are, creation <strong>of</strong> “Transmission Highways” from potential generating resources mainly
