Tata Power commissions Jalpura–Khurja transmission project in Greater Noida
Author: PPD Team Date: January 9, 2026
The Tata Power Company Limited has announced the commissioning of a major transmission infrastructure project in Uttar Pradesh, strengthening the regional power network. The project involves the 400 / 220 kV Metro Depot Substation and associated transmission lines in Greater Noida, adding 1,000 MVA of transformation capacity to meet rising electricity demand in the region.
The newly commissioned system is designed to support power requirements in Greater Noida and the National Capital Region (NCR). Surplus power from the project will also flow into the Northern Grid, enabling supply support to other northern states.
The project was executed through TP Jalpura Khurja Transmission Limited (TPJKPTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power. This commissioning represents the first completed milestone under the larger Jalpura–Khurja project, which was awarded to Tata Power through the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) framework.
According to Tata Power, the project was completed on schedule, reflecting the company’s execution capabilities in large transmission infrastructure. Following this addition, Tata Power’s consolidated transmission portfolio has reached 7,047 circuit kilometers of operational and under construction lines across India.
The Metro Depot Substation in Greater Noida comprises a 400 / 220 kV gas insulated substation (GIS) with two 500 MVA transformers and a 125 MVAR bus reactor. The scope also includes line in line out (LILO) of one circuit of the existing 400 kV Greater Noida–Pali line at the Metro Depot Substation, along with a 400 kV double circuit monopole transmission line using twin moose high temperature low sag (HTLS) conductors and optical ground wire (OPGW).
The Jalpura Substation, also located in Greater Noida, includes a 400 / 220 kV GIS with two 500 MVA transformers and a 125 MVAR bus reactor. It is connected to the THDC Thermal Power Station (TPS) Khurja through a new 400 kV transmission line constructed using monopole, narrow base, and conventional towers, with twin moose HTLS conductors and OPGW.
The project forms part of Uttar Pradesh’s 14th Plan transmission network expansion. It is expected to improve power evacuation capability, enhance supply reliability in Greater Noida and the NCR, and support integration of new generation capacity while strengthening grid stability in the Northern Region.
