CENTRAL SECTOR TRANSMISSION
Ministry of Power has planned to establish the requisite
transmission capacity in the Central Sector to match the
generation capacity addition and encourage inter-state/inter-
regional exchange of power to mitigate the situation of
surplus /deficit of power in various regions. Transmission
lines and sub-stations completed during the year 2007-08
(up to Nov, 07) are shown in the following table:
