132kV Asoj–Champaner TSS Line

Project Overview

The 132kV Asoj–Champaner Traction Sub-Station (TSS) Line project involves the complete supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of a 132kV double-circuit transmission line for GETCO. Spanning approximately 10.81 km, the project includes installation of ACSR Panther conductor on 132kV D/C towers and laying of 24F OPGW cable. This project strengthens regional power evacuation capability and ensures reliable power supply to the Champaner TSS.
