Vikran Engineering Secures ₹120.69 Crore POWERGRID Order for 400 kV GIS Substation Extension
New Delhi, July 31, 2026: Vikran Engineering Limited, a major engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) player in the power transmission sector, has secured a new order valued at approximately ₹120.69 crore (exclusive of GST) from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) for the 400 kV GIS Substation Package SS-147. Won through a domestic competitive bidding process, the contract adds a marquee project to the company’s order book and cements its standing as a preferred EPC partner for India’s central transmission utility, the company said in a press release.
The project scope encompasses the complete design, engineering, manufacture, testing, supply, erection, and commissioning of Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) equipment. The contract is designed to augment transformation capacity across three key facilities: the 400/220 kV Magarwada GIS Substation in Dadra & Nagar Haveli, the 765/400/220 kV Vadnagar GIS Substation in Gujarat, and the 400/220 kV Rajgarh Substation in Madhya Pradesh. Work will be carried out under two integrated contracts covering supply of goods and services for 400/220 kV GIS bays and allied infrastructure.
The upcoming infrastructure expansion across these nodes is set to strengthen inter-regional power transmission, enhance overall grid stability, and boost power evacuation capabilities throughout Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.
Commenting on the order win, Rakesh Markhedkar, Chairman & Managing Director of Vikran Engineering Limited, said: “Winning this order from POWERGRID is a testament to the confidence our clients continue to place in Vikran Engineering’s engineering capabilities and execution track record. This project reinforces our long-standing relationship with POWERGRID and strengthens our footprint in the high-voltage GIS substation segment.”
Highlighting the broader industry backdrop, Markhedkar added: “As India’s power demand continues to rise, augmenting transformation capacity at critical transmission nodes becomes essential to grid stability and reliability. We remain committed to delivering this project with the same quality, precision and timely execution that our clients have come to expect from us, while continuing to strengthen our order book and expand our presence in the transmission EPC space.”
The successful execution of this high-voltage expansion project is expected to further position Vikran Engineering as a trusted partner in building out India’s energy grid. The firm continues to take on complex transmission and substation ventures across demanding terrains to meet the country’s rising power requirements and support sustainable grid infrastructure.
