This initiative unlocks the untapped potential of Rajasthan’s transmission network and positions the state as a hub for high-capacity, future-ready connectivity.

In a recent interview with Power Line, Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director, Sterlite Electric, and Chairman, Resonia Limited and Serentica Renewables, spoke about the current state of the power sector, the progress in renewable energy development, the opportunities for private participation in transmission and the overall outlook for the sector.

Since the dawn of the Electricity Act, 2003, India’s power transmission sector has undergone a transformation during the last two decades. The gates of the sector were open for the private sector, which brought with it investment and innovation.

While its peers Tata, Reliance and Adani play the backward-integration game, Sterlite is eyeing greener pastures such as round-the-clock power and technological advancements.

India's HVDC transmission line project encounters supply chain issues. Pratik Agarwal suggests capital incentives for ecosystem development. This is crucial for meeting clean energy demands. He proposes a capital subsidy package within 3-4 years. Limited equipment imports with technology transfer are advised. While HVAC lines are planned, HVDC systems remain vital for long-distance transmission.
