Rajesh Power Services has won an INR 2.12 billion engineering contract from Odisha Power Transmission Corporation. The 24-month project involves deploying an underground transmission line and expanding existing substations to strengthen regional grid infrastructure.
Indian engineering procurement and construction firm Rajesh Power Services has secured a turnkey contract valued at INR 2.12 billion from the state-owned utility, Odisha Power Transmission Corporation. Based in Ahmedabad, India, Rajesh Power Services specializes in power infrastructure development, including underground cabling, substation setups, and renewable energy integration. The newly awarded project mandates the design, engineering, supply, deployment, and testing of a 220-kilovolt single-circuit underground transmission corridor connecting the Mendhasal and Chandaka-B grid substations in the eastern state of Odisha. The scope of work also encompasses bay extensions at both sites and is slated for completion within a 24-month timeframe.
This development underscores the accelerating regional transition from overhead power lines to underground cabling systems. Underground infrastructure substantially mitigates transmission losses and protects the grid against severe weather disruptions, which frequently impact coastal regions like Odisha. By securing this contract, the engineering firm strengthens its order book and solidifies its position in India’s competitive power transmission and distribution segment.
For the utility sector and regional authorities, the project marks a significant step toward modernizing state grid capabilities to support industrial expansion. The implementation of gas-insulated switchgear extensions reflects a broader policy push toward high-efficiency, space-saving infrastructure in urbanizing corridors. For institutional investors and market participants, the contract win demonstrates sustained public expenditure on grid resilience, highlighting robust commercial pipelines for specialized infrastructure vendors capable of executing complex engineering projects within strict multi-year timelines.
