G R Infraprojects Limited (GRIL) has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited for a new transmission project in Madhya Pradesh. Announced on August 27, 2025, the project focuses on evacuating power from 1500 MW renewable energy projects in Rajgarh (Phase III) and 1000 MW renewable energy projects in Neemuch (Phase II) through a Tariff Based Competitive Bidding Process (TBCB).

The project scope includes establishing a 2x500 MVA, 400/220 kV substation at Handiya with 2x125 MVAr 420 kV bus reactors. It also involves creating new 220 kV bus sections and augmenting transformer capacity (3x500 MVA, 400/220 kV ICTs) at Neemuch and Pachora substations, along with associated line bays and switchable line reactors.

Additional elements include the construction of 400 kV D/c lines with associated bays and 50 MVAr switchable line reactors at both ends. The project will operate on a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer) mode, with an annual transmission charge of INR 3670.73 million over a 35-year O&M period, and is scheduled for completion within 24 months from SPV acquisition.
