Viviana commissions 400 kV line for 323 MW Gujarat wind project

Viviana Power Tech Limited has commissioned a 400 kV double-circuit (D/C) loop-in loop-out (LILO) transmission line for a 323.4 MW wind park in Kachchh, Gujarat. The transmission line was energised on July 10, 2026, enabling evacuation of power from the renewable energy project to the high-voltage grid.

The project was completed under a compressed execution schedule and involved multiple extra-high-voltage crossings and live-line stringing operations without requiring a grid shutdown. The new transmission infrastructure is expected to strengthen renewable energy evacuation capacity in the region.

Execution details

A key requirement of the project was maintaining continuity of the existing network during construction. To achieve this, Viviana Power Tech executed three major crossings: a 765 kV under-crossing, a ±500 kV High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) under-crossing, and a 400 kV overhead crossing.

The company deployed a 100-metric-tonne crane to erect two extension towers weighing 97 metric tonnes each for the crossing works. It also completed a 200-metre live-line (hot-line) stringing section between towers AP-07 and AP-08 while adjacent circuits remained energised, avoiding disruption to the broader transmission network.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Nikesh Choksi, Chairman & Managing Director of Viviana Power Tech Limited, said:

“The commissioning of this 400 kV double-circuit LILO line is a defining moment for Viviana Power Tech. Executing three high-voltage crossings – including a 765 kV under-crossing and completing live-line stringing without a grid shutdown, all within a compressed timeline, reflects the engineering capability and safety discipline of our teams. With a confirmed order book of over Rs 1,340 crore and a healthy bidding pipeline, we remain focused on strengthening India’s power-transmission backbone and creating sustained value for our stakeholders.”

Order book

Viviana Power Tech’s order pipeline continues to expand. As of July 21, 2026, the company reported a confirmed order book of approximately Rs 1,340 crore, inclusive of GST.

In addition, bids valued at around Rs 936 crore are currently under evaluation by clients, while identified tenders for proposed participation exceed Rs 2,500 crore.

For the consolidated financial year 2026, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 531 crore, EBITDA of Rs 76 crore, and net profit of Rs 53 crore.
