Renewable energy EPC firm Kshema Power has secured an order to build evacuation infrastructure for a 315-MW wind power project in Karnataka.

Placed by a leading independent power producer (IPP), the EPC order includes the supply, civil works, erection and commissioning of approximately 33 km of 220kV single-circuit transmission line on double circuit towers and multi-circuit towers

The order also entails supply, civil works, erection and commissioning of unit substations and 33kV transmission line infrastructure, a release by Kshema Power said.

The order comes at a point of strong momentum for India’s wind sector, which added a record 6,057 MW in FY26 to cross 57 GW of installed capacity, as tracked by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). Karnataka ranks third among Indian states at close to 8,900 MW, and evacuation infrastructure is increasingly the constraint on how quickly new capacity reaches the grid.

The Central Electricity Authority’s National Electricity Plan (Transmission) envisages over 191,000 ckm of new transmission lines and an investment of more than Rs.9.15 lakh crore through 2032 to support 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, the release noted.

The project reflects the increasing importance of robust power evacuation infrastructure as India accelerates renewable energy deployment. While generation capacity continues to expand, the ability to evacuate, transmit and integrate renewable power reliably into the grid will be equally critical to achieving the country’s long-term clean energy ambitions.

Enabling RE transmission

Dr. Sateesh Basant, Managing Director, Kshema Power, said, “India’s renewable energy journey is entering a phase where transmission infrastructure will play an increasingly decisive role. Adding generation capacity is only one part of the equation; ensuring that renewable power can be evacuated and delivered reliably to the grid is equally important. This project reflects our commitment to building the infrastructure that enables renewable energy to move from generation to consumption efficiently and reliably.”

Future-ready infrastructure

With an integrated scope covering procurement of required approvals for high-voltage transmission, substation infrastructure, electrical balance of plant, civil works, erection and commissioning, the project further strengthens Kshema Power’s capabilities as an end-to-end EPC partner for large-scale renewable energy projects.

Kshema Power has executed over 5.2 GW of renewable energy infrastructure globally, including 4,500+ MW of wind EPC, 2,000+ km of power transmission lines and 2,400+ MVA of substation capacity. The company continues to focus on delivering reliable and future-ready infrastructure that supports the integration of renewable energy into India’s evolving power network, the release added.
