Power major ABB has bagged orders worth Rs 334 crore from public utilities, Bihar Grid Corporation Ltd (BGCL) and West Bengal State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd (WBSETCL), to build new transmission and distribution substations that will boost power supply in the region.
Bihar and West Bengal regularly face power shortfalls and demand is rising, fuelled by mining, agriculture and increasing urbanisation.
Both States have ambitious plans to significantly enhance their power generation capacity which, in turn, needs complementary transmission infrastructure.
