Transmission

The 51:49 joint venture with PowerGrid Corporation of India for the 1,200 km Tala Transmission Project: Powerlinks Transmission Limited (Powerlinks) is India's first transmission project to be executed as a Public-Private-Partnership. Powerlinks transmit power from the Bhutan based Tala Hydroelectric Project (in Nilgiri, West Bengal), through the Eastern/North-Eastern Region of India to Mandola in Uttar Pradesh (near New Delhi) a total distance of 1,200 km. Ten States (West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Sikkim, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Delhi) benefit from this project, which transfers about 3000 MW of regional power. Maintaining an average availability of 99.7%, the project is an important link in the national power grid and is the first inter-state transmission project that has been implemented through the Public-Private-Partnership route. Powerlinks has also balanced the ratio between thermal power and hydel power in the eastern region of India.

Tata Power's transmission operations in Mumbai License Area stretch from Colaba in South Mumbai to Bassein Creek in North Mumbai and to Vikhroli in North-East Mumbai (bypassing Bhandup and Mulund).
