In India, the PT&D Business has secured orders to develop distribution infrastructure in two discom circles in western Rajasthan. The company has also bagged a power supply system order for the second phase of the Chennai Metro.
The scope includes the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of receiving substations (RSS), auxiliary substations (ASS), and SCADA systems for the northern sections of Corridors 3 and 5. The 110 kV gas-insulated receiving substations get incoming supply from the grid and feed power supply to the traction and station requirements.
33 kV auxiliary substations interconnected through a 33 kV cable system feed the auxiliary loads of metro stations such as lighting, ventilation, lifts, etc. Related control and protection systems are also included in the scope.
The orders secured by the PT&D Business are in line with the reform-based results-linked distribution sector scheme (RDSS) initiative of the Indian government. The scheme aims to reduce aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses at a pan-India level by undertaking several distribution infrastructure improvements such as segregating feeders, reconductoring, cabling, augmenting line networks and elements, geotagging assets, etc.
The PT&D business of Larsen & Toubro Construction is committed to providing efficient and sustainable power transmission and distribution solutions to its clients in India and overseas.
