five Regional Load Despatch Centres located at New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore,<br />
Calcutta and Shillong.<br />
2.3.2 During 1<strong>99</strong>7-98, the Northern, Western and Southern Regional Grids were operating<br />
independently while Eastern and North-Eastern Regional Grids were operating in<br />
parallel. The HVDC back-to-back link between Northern and Western regions, continued<br />
to operate round the clock, enabling maximisation <strong>of</strong> mutual assistance, particularly<br />
during emergencies in either Region. The HVDC back-to-back link at Chandrapur<br />
between Western and Southern regions has also been commissioned and regular<br />
exchange <strong>of</strong> power is taking place between the WR and SR. In addition inter-regional<br />
exchanges in radial mode, amongst other regions were maximised to the extent<br />
particularly feasible. Arrangements were made to transfer surplus power from Eastern<br />
Region to deficit States in other regions viz. Assam, AP , MP , Gujarat, Daman & Diu,<br />
Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Kerala. During the year 1<strong>99</strong>7-98, the inter-regional exchanges<br />
