Rays Power commissions 300 MWp solar project with 400 kV evacuation system in Rajasthan
Rays Power Infra Ltd. has commissioned a 300 MWp solar power project in Rajasthan along with two 400/33 kV pooling substations and a 16.6 km, 400 kV transmission line connected to the Fatehgarh substation.
The integrated solar and transmission development has been executed on a turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis. The evacuation infrastructure provides more than 1 GW of combined transformation capacity, enabling the pooling and transmission of renewable generation into the wider grid.
The 300 MWp solar plant will evacuate its generation through the two pooling substations, which will consolidate the power and step up the voltage for onward transmission. The associated 400 kV transmission line extends 16.6 km and connects the pooling infrastructure to the Fatehgarh 400 kV Substation, a major grid hub in Rajasthan.
The high-capacity evacuation system is designed to integrate large volumes of renewable generation into the national grid while supporting reliable power flow and grid stability.
Project execution
The solar plant, twin 400/33 kV pooling substations and 400 kV transmission line were delivered as an integrated turnkey EPC project, combining utility-scale renewable generation with Extra High-Voltage transmission infrastructure.
Pawan Sharma, Whole-Time Director, Rays Power Infra Ltd., said, “The successful commissioning of this integrated solar and transmission project reflects Rays Power Infra’s engineering excellence, execution capability, and unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and timely delivery. Delivering a 300 MWp solar power plant alongside two 400 kV pooling substations and a 16.6 km Extra High-Voltage transmission line is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our project teams. As India’s renewable energy landscape continues to evolve, we remain focused on building reliable, future-ready infrastructure that enables efficient power evacuation, strengthens grid resilience, and supports the nation’s ambitious clean energy goals.”
Ketan Mehta, Managing Director, Rays Power Infra Ltd., said, “The commissioning of these two 400 kV pooling substations and the high-voltage transmission line represents a major leap forward in our mission to fortify India’s energy backbone. As the country rapidly scales up renewable capacity, high-capacity transmission networks are essential for preventing grid bottlenecks and ensuring power reaches where it is needed most. We are proud to play an integral role in powering Rajasthan’s clean energy goals and remain focused on building resilient, future-proof infrastructure that accelerates India’s transition toward sustainability.”
