New Delhi: Tata Power on Friday said it has commissioned the 400/220 kV TP Jalpura–Khurja transmission line along with the Metro Depot substation at Greater Noida, significantly boosting power evacuation and grid reliability in Uttar Pradesh and the wider National Capital Region (NCR).
The project has enabled the addition of 1,000 MVA of transformation capacity to meet rising electricity demand in and around Greater Noida, while also allowing surplus power to be fed into the Northern Grid to support other northern states, the company said in a press release.
The intra-state transmission system has been executed through TP Jalpura Khurja Transmission Ltd (TPJKPTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power. It marks the first major milestone under the Jalpura–Khurja tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) project, highlighting Tata Power’s growing footprint in privately developed transmission infrastructure.
Company executives said the on-time commissioning underscores Tata Power’s execution capabilities in complex, linear infrastructure projects, even as demand for robust transmission networks rises alongside urbanisation, data centres, metro rail systems and industrial growth in the NCR belt.
“With this addition, Tata Power’s transmission portfolio now stands at 7,047 circuit kilometres of lines that are operational or under execution across India,” the company said, reinforcing its role as a key private sector player in strengthening the national electricity grid.
Industry analysts said projects such as Jalpura–Khurja are critical to easing congestion in high-growth consumption pockets and integrating incremental generation capacity, including renewables, into the grid. Strengthening intra-state and inter-state transmission is also seen as essential to maintaining grid stability as India scales up clean energy and electrification.
Tata Power, part of the Tata Group, has a diversified installed capacity of 15.9 GW spanning generation, transmission, distribution, renewables, storage and solar manufacturing. Of this, around 7 GW—or about 44%—is clean energy capacity, with the company targeting net-zero emissions by 2045.
Shares of Tata Power were steady in early trade, as investors viewed the commissioning as a long-term infrastructure and grid-strengthening milestone rather than a near-term earnings trigger.
