Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited has awarded a turnkey contract worth INR 821.74 million to Om Power Transmission, for converting overhead electricity networks into an underground cable system in Bhavnagar. The project aims to modernize distribution infrastructure, improve grid reliability, and support long-term power management across the region.
Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited has issued a turnkey contract valued at INR 821.74 million to Om Power Transmission, for the transformation of existing 11 kV high-tension and low-tension electricity networks in the Kaliabid subdivision of Bhavnagar Circle into an underground cable network with a Ring Main System.
The project involves replacing current overhead distribution lines and consumer service connections with underground infrastructure, a move designed to strengthen electricity distribution resilience and reduce exposure to weather-related disruptions. Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited is a state-owned electricity distribution company responsible for supplying power across parts of Gujarat, India.
The infrastructure upgrade is expected to impact power utilities, electrical contractors, equipment suppliers, and local consumers by creating demand for underground cabling, network protection systems, and related engineering services. Modernizing distribution assets is also aligned with broader efforts to improve urban power reliability and reduce maintenance challenges associated with conventional overhead networks.
For businesses and investors, the contract highlights continued investment opportunities in India’s electricity distribution modernization sector. Utility transformation projects such as this may support growth for companies involved in grid automation, power equipment manufacturing, and electrical infrastructure execution.
