Ceigall India Ltd announced that it has received a letter of intent (LoI) from REC Power Development & Consultancy Ltd (RECPDCL) for the development of a major common transmission system in Gujarat.
The LoI has been awarded for the “Common Transmission System for evacuation of power from Lakadia (Phase-II: 7.5 GW), Jam Khambhaliya (Phase-II: 5.5 GW) and Jamnagar (Phase-I: 1 GW) – Part-B” project. The project entails the development of a 765/400 kV Air Insulated Substation (AIS) along with approximately 300 km of transmission lines.
As reported by tndindia.com on August 26, 2026, Ceigall India had emerged L1 in the e-reverse auction of this project, under the TBCB mode. This project also marks Ceigall India’s entry in the interstate transmission development space. The project SPV “Jam Khambhaliya Jamnagar Power Transmission Ltd,” currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of RECPDCL, is expected to be formally transferred to Ceigall India in due course.
The project is valued at approximately Rs.5,300 crore (inclusive of GST). The company will receive annual transmission charges of Rs.608.67 crore each year over the 35-year operational period. Execution is expected to take 36 months, followed by this 35-year operational period.
The project forms part of the transmission infrastructure being developed to facilitate the evacuation of power from key renewable energy zones in Gujarat, including Lakadia, Jam Khambhaliya and Jamnagar.
Important milestone
“This project marks an important milestone in Ceigall India’s journey towards strengthening its presence in the transmission infrastructure segment. The project will contribute to the development of critical power transmission infrastructure in Gujarat and support the efficient evacuation of power from key generation regions. With our strong execution capabilities and focus on large-scale infrastructure development, we remain committed to contributing to India’s evolving energy and infrastructure landscape while creating long-term value for all our stakeholders,” said Ramneek Sehgal, Managing Director, Ceigall India Ltd.
Overall status
The scheme aims at developing evacuation infrastructure for 7.5 GW of RE power from the Lakadia region in Gujarat. The project is part of a larger plan of building transmission infrastructure for 14 GW of RE power from Gujarat, through five independent ISTS-TBCB schemes, which are housed under respective project SPVs as shown in this graphic:
The summary current status of the five schemes is as follows:
