The award pertains to the development of the 400kV AIS Substation Package SS-66T.

New Delhi, July 2, 2025 – HARTEK, a leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company in the power & renewable infrastructure sector, has been awarded a significant contract worth ₹138 crore.

The award pertains to the development of the 400kV AIS Substation Package SS-66T, associated with the Transmission Scheme for integration of Davanagere/Chitradurga and Ballari Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) in Karnataka, through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route.

Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (POWERGRID) awarded the contract, underlining Hartek's leadership and execution capabilities in India's critical transmission infrastructure projects. The scope of work involves design, engineering, procurement construction, testing at the manufacturer's works, supply (including transportation and insurance), unloading, storage, erection, testing, and commissioning—ensuring turnkey delivery of the 400kV AIS Substation.

"We are honoured to be entrusted with this critical infrastructure project by POWERGRID. The development of the 400kV AIS Substation under the TBCB route reinforces Hartek's expertise in delivering high-voltage transmission projects and aligns with our commitment to supporting India's renewable energy integration goals. This project will strengthen the national grid and accelerate the green energy transition, contributing meaningfully to the nation's sustainable growth story," said Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director & CEO, Hartek Group.

This substation will play a crucial role in integrating renewable energy from the Davanagere, Chitradurga, and Ballari REZ into the national grid, aligning with India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. The infrastructure represents a critical building block in India's quest for a sustainable, flexible, and secure grid capable of accommodating massive renewable generation additions and industrial electrification demands. It will enhance grid stability and enable the seamless flow of green energy across Karnataka, while significantly reducing transmission losses and lowering operating costs, making clean electricity more affordable for millions of consumers.

With this win, Hartek reinforces its commitment to powering India's clean energy transition and enabling sustainable infrastructure growth. Contributing to such projects enhances credibility and positions Hartek among top-tier transmission infrastructure players.

Hartek Group continues to expand across power systems, renewables, and power distribution products, offering end-to-end solutions aligned with India's energy transition goals.
