Power Grid is implementing the 1,730-km-long 800 kv HVDC (high voltage direct current) transmission line project between Assam and Agra having 6,000-MW capacity. A consortium of BHELBSE 0.25 % and ABB was given the order for the supply of equipment for the transmission line. The high capacity HDVC corridor shall integrate the North-Eastern region with other regions of the country to facilitate smooth and reliable power transfer giving rise to stable national grid. As of August 2015, the project is in the advanced stages of commissioning.
