GE Vernova T&D wins HVDC terminal contract for Khavda evacuation

GE Vernova T&D India Limited has secured a contract for a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) terminal station linked to renewable energy evacuation from Gujarat. The company disclosed the award in a regulatory filing dated 20 December 2025.

The contract has been awarded by AESL Projects Limited and involves the design and establishment of a 2,500 MW, ±500 kV High Voltage Direct Current Voltage Source Converter HVDC VSC terminal station. The project will support power evacuation from the KPS 3 Khavda renewable energy complex to South Olpad.

The HVDC terminal station will be configured as two parallel systems of 1,250 MW each. GE Vernova T&D India said its scope includes the design, supply and execution of the complete terminal station. The contract is to be executed over multiple years.

The project will use ±500 kV HVDC VSC technology, which is suited for integrating large scale renewable energy and transmitting power over long distances. VSC based HVDC systems allow better control of power flows and improved grid stability, particularly when connecting renewable generation located far from load centres.

The company confirmed that the order is a domestic project awarded by an Indian entity. While the contract value was not disclosed, the filing indicates that the project is a large-scale transmission assignment. GE Vernova T&D India stated that further execution will involve detailed engineering, procurement and phased construction in line with project timelines.
