Hartek Group has secured a Rs138 crore EPC contract from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) to develop a 400 kV air-insulated substation (AIS) in Karnataka. This substation will support the integration of renewable energy from Karnataka’s Davanagere, Chitradurga, and Ballari districts, which together hold an estimated 17 GW of renewable energy potential as identified by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

The scope of work includes design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning, all on a turnkey basis. The project aims to enhance regional grid stability, reduce transmission losses, and improve the delivery efficiency of clean energy.
