Bajel Projects wins Rs.400 crore-plus order from PGCIL for 765kV transmission line
- February 9, 2026
Bajel Projects Ltd has announced the winning of an EPC order valued at over Rs.400 crore from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) for a 765kV transmission line.
In a release, Bajel Projects said that the contract, designated as “Transmission Line Package TL02”, involves the construction of the 765kV Vindhyachal Pool – Prayagraj double-circuit line (Part-II), which runs 87.3 km.
This high-voltage corridor is a vital component of the “Inter-regional (NR-WR) Transmission System strengthening” initiative. It is specifically engineered to relieve the loading of the existing 765kV Vindhyachal-Varanasi double-circuit line, ensuring a more resilient and balanced exchange of power between the Northern and Western Grids.
The contract, placed by Vindhyachal Varanasi Transmission Ltd, a TBCB subsidiary of PGCIL, is scheduled for completion in 21 months.
Leadership in high-voltage EPC
Commenting on the milestone win, Rajesh Ganesh, MD & CEO, Bajel Projects Ltd, said, “Securing this Rs.400 crore+ Ultra Mega order is a definitive validation of our ‘Quality of Earnings’ strategy and our approach of winning the right, technically demanding contracts. The 765kV Vindhyachal-Prayagraj line is a critical piece of the national grid puzzle, and our role in strengthening the NR-WR corridor speaks to our leadership in the high-voltage EPC domain”.
This win underscores Bajel’s competitive edge in the ultra-high voltage (UHV) segment and represents a significant milestone in its strategic transition into a specialized power transmission EPC player. By focusing on 765kV double-circuit lines—one of the highest voltage levels in the Indian grid—the Company is moving into a high-barrier technical space that demands exceptional engineering precision and project management expertise.
This order further strengthens Bajel’s robust order book and follows the successful commissioning of over 2,000 ckm of transmission lines during 2024-26, the release added.
