• Transmission sector role: Electricity transmission connects generation points to load centers, providing reliability, enabling a power exchange marketplace, and preventing distribution bottlenecks. Unlike power generation, which is delicensed, transmission remains a licensed activity governed by competition.
• Domestic network scale: India operates one of the world's largest transmission systems, possessing over 1.86 lakh circuit kilometers and more than 6 lakh MVA of transformation capacity. The utility maintains a 99% operational benchmark, placing Power Grid in the highest global performance quadrant.
• Global project expansion: The transmission utility maintains a footprint across nearly 25 countries, historically focused on consultancy services. It is now entering the African continent with a project in Kenya, marking its first international venture under a developer mode.
