India’s power transmission sector is poised for robust growth, supported by a massive capital expenditure pipeline of around ₹9 trillion, according to a report by Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

The report highlights that the expansion is being driven by the rapid scale-up of renewable energy capacity, which requires significant investment in transmission infrastructure to evacuate power from generation sites to demand centres.

A key focus area is the development of inter-state transmission systems (ISTS), particularly in renewable-rich regions such as Rajasthan and Gujarat. These projects are critical to integrating large volumes of solar and wind energy into the national grid.

The report also points to a strong pipeline of upcoming transmission projects under government initiatives, including the Green Energy Corridor, which aims to strengthen grid connectivity for renewable energy.

Private sector participation is expected to play a crucial role in executing these projects, with tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) routes gaining traction. This model has improved efficiency and attracted investor interest in transmission assets.

In addition, increasing electrification, rising power demand, and the push for round-the-clock renewable energy supply are further accelerating the need for grid expansion and modernisation.
