132kV Gondal–Haripur LILO

Project Overview

This project involves the Supply, Erection, Testing, and Commissioning of a 132 kV Single Circuit Gondal–Haripur LILO (Line-In Line-Out) at the 220 kV Visavadar Substation. Designed to strengthen GETCO’s transmission network, the project enhances reliability, improves load management, and ensures efficient power evacuation within the region. The 18.96 KM LILO line plays a key role in supporting non-renewable power distribution across Visavadar and surrounding areas.
