Centre eyes private capital for ₹9L-cr grid expansion
Financial Express Lucknow|January 07, 2025
INDIA IS ASKING states to attract more private capital to accelerate the expansion of its power transmission network, part of a plan to revamp the country's grid and accommodate more clean power.
RAJESH KUMAR SINGH

States should monetise their transmission assets by transferring ownership to businesses for a period of time, and re-invest the proceeds into new projects, according to a report by the federal government's Central Electricity Authority.

Power regulators should design a pricing system that guarantees predictable revenues for investors, it said.
