The initiative, officially named the “Transmission System for Green Hydrogen/Ammonia Manufacturing Potential in Mundra, Gujarat,” will enhance the state’s power infrastructure. The project involves upgrading the Navinal (Mundra) electrical substation by adding two 765/400kV transformers. Additionally, a 75 km-long 765kV double-circuit transmission line will be built to connect Navinal to Bhuj.
Boosting Transmission Capacity & Renewable Energy Integration
With the addition of 150 cKM of transmission lines and 3,000 MVA of transformation capacity, AESL’s network will expand to 25,928 cKM and 87,186 MVA, respectively. This marks the company’s sixth major order this fiscal year, pushing its total order book to approximately Rs 57,561 crore.
AESL secured the project through a tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) process, overseen by PFC Consulting Limited as the bid process coordinator. The project’s special purpose vehicle (SPV) was officially transferred to AESL on March 20, 2025.
Strengthening India’s Green Hydrogen Ambitions
As India accelerates its renewable energy push, AESL’s new project aligns with the government’s strategy to develop green hydrogen hubs and support industrial decarbonisation. Gujarat, particularly Mundra, has emerged as a key centre for renewable energy and green hydrogen projects, attracting major investments from leading energy firms.
With this latest transmission expansion, AESL continues to reinforce its position as one of India’s leading power infrastructure developers, ensuring a robust and sustainable energy future.
