Inauguration of 132 kV Mohanpur SS by Hon’ble MoF and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman under NERPSIP
Implementation of this project (as central Sector Scheme, with funding on a 50:50 basis by GoI & World Bank) would strengthen the Intra-State transmission & Distribution infrastructure of six states of North Eastern Region (Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura); improve its connectivity to the upcoming load centers, and thus would extend the benefits of the grid-connected power to all the consumers. The project would also provide the required grid connectivity to such villages and towns of the States, where the development of distribution systems at the downstream level has been taking place under Gol sponsored RGGVY/ APDRP/ R-APDRP schemes. NERPSIP covers many transmission and distribution lines and sub-stations at 33kV, 66kV, 132kV, and 220kV voltage levels.
The following element i.e. 132/33kV Mohanpur SS (2x31.5 MVA) was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs of India, Smt.
