GE Vernova Inc announced that it has been chosen by Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) to supply over 70 EHV transformers and shunt reactors for key transmission projects across India. This is believed to be one of the largest order intakes for GE Vernova’s electrification segment in India.
The 765kV class units will support transmission infrastructure for renewable power evacuation projects under India’s tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) framework.
The order has been booked through GE Vernova T&D India Ltd, the listed entity of GE Vernova’s Electrification business in India.
GE Vernova’s scope includes the supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of the equipment. Manufacturing will be carried out at GE Vernova’s power transformer facility in Vadodara, India. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2026 and continue through the end of 2027.

“This is one of the largest order intakes for GE Vernova’s Electrification segment in India and a significant milestone for our Vadodara facility,” said Ruchir Mayank, Commercial Leader of GE Vernova’s Power Transmission business in India. “We are proud to contribute to India’s grid modernization and renewable energy expansion, and we thank POWERGRID for their continued trust in our technology and execution capabilities.”
Resilient power systems
“These orders reflect the critical role GE Vernova is playing in advancing India’s transmission infrastructure to support global renewable energy goals,” said Sandeep Zanzaria, Managing Director and CEO of GE Vernova T&D India Limited. “As a listed entity in India, we are proud to contribute to national priorities by delivering extra high-voltage technologies that enable more resilient power systems.”
RE evacuation
These orders — placed under a bulk procurement strategy — are expected to support high-capacity renewable power corridors in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.
Accelerating energy transition
The project reflects GE Vernova’s ongoing commitment to accelerating the energy transition in emerging markets. By enabling large-scale renewable integration, the initiative also helps enhance energy security and reduce dependency on fossil fuels, a release from GE Vernova said.
Vadodara manufacturing facility
GE Vernova’s Vadodara site has been designing, manufacturing and testing 765kV class transformers and shunt reactors since 2009. To date, the Vadodara factory has manufactured and supplied more than 700 units across the country to ensure the reliable performance of India’s power network.
