GE Vernova T&D India has received a letter of award from Power Grid Corporation of India for a 6,000 MW high-voltage direct-current terminal project. The award is dated November 3, according to the company’s stock-exchange disclosure issued the following morning.
The project covers the design and establishment of a ±800 kV line-commutated-converter terminal station, comprising two 3,000 MW units. Its stated purpose is to carry renewable electricity from Barmer II to South Kalamb.
The company’s filing distinguishes this award from an earlier development on September 7, when GE Vernova reported that it had qualified as the lowest bidder. Receiving the award is therefore a new step rather than a repeat of the September announcement.
GE Vernova and Power Grid still have to execute the definitive agreement. The latest filing does not disclose the contract value or a commissioning date. The announcement confirms progress in procurement; it does not mean the terminal is built, energised or already transmitting renewable power.
