The order is scheduled for completion in 18 months, the release noted.

This transmission line package is associated with an ISTS-TBCB scheme termed as “Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part 3: 6 GW), Bikaner Complex, Part B” that is being developed by Powergrid Siwani Transmission Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGCIL.

Commenting on this achievement, Rajesh Ganesh, MD & CEO of Bajel Projects Ltd, “We are proud to contribute to the nation’s green energy initiatives by strengthening the transmission system for the REZ Ph-IV, Bikaner Complex. This project reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, timely, and efficient solutions that power India’s growth.”

This landmark order further cements Bajel Projects’ standing as a preferred and pivotal partner for intricate and high-value transmission infrastructure developments across India, critically advancing the nation’s energy transition and grid modernization initiatives, the release noted.


Bikaner Part-B

According to information available with T&D India but not contained in the Bajel Projects’ release, “Powergrid Siwani Transmission Ltd” (then known as “Bikaner B Power Transmission Ltd” was formally transferred to PGCIL by bid process coordinator REC Power Development & Consultancy Ltd (RECPDCL) on November 11, 2024.

PGCIL won the project under the TBCB mode quoting a tariff of Rs.5,093.13 million per year, getting the better of other three other contenders that had qualified for opening of initial price bids.

The overall project, estimated to cost Rs.5,357 crore, involves the development of 934 ckm of transmission line spread over Rajasthan and Haryana, as well as 9,000 MVA of transformation capacity that will come up through a new 765/400kV, 6×1500 MVA substation at Siwani in Bhiwani district of Haryana. Currently under execution, the project is expected to commission by December 2026.

This project has a complementary “Part-A” that is also being developed by PGCIL under the TBCB framework, through its wholly-owned “Powergrid Bikaner IV Transmission Ltd,” earlier known as “Bikaner A Power Transmission Ltd.”

Drone radar facilitates agricultural monitoring

  In agriculture, drones distribute seeds or fertilizers with precision, saving both time and money. When combined with sensors and artificial intelligence, they can perform remote sensing, similar to satellites and airplanes, monitor large crops, conduct detailed analyses of soil’s chemical elements, and identify issues such as erosion. One of the most advanced techniques in this field, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), has been enhanced by Radaz, a startup founded in 2017 at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and now based in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. “It’s an innovative technology with enormous potential to generate a wide variety of products, serving various market segments,” says electrical engineer Hugo Enrique Hernández Figueroa from UNICAMP’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC), who led the team responsible for developing a radar mounted on a small drone. To achieve this, the team had to miniaturize the radar’s electronic hardware and antennas. The id...

Japan to increase reliance on nuclear energy

-
Image
  Japan’s Cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan emphasising nuclear power and renewables as its primary carbon-free sources to ensure energy security and achieve net-zero emissions. The government revises its energy plan about every three years. The plan is based on the Basic Energy Policy Law enacted in June 2002. The new 7th Basic Energy Plan reverses the government’s earlier resolve to minimise reliance on nuclear energy following the 2011 Fukushima crisis. Nuclear power will account for about 20% of the Japan’s total energy output in fiscal 2040, similar to the fiscal 2030 target of 20-22% and a significant increase on the 8.5% in fiscal 2023. Electricity demand is expected to rise due in part to the prevalence of artificial intelligence and data centres. The government aims to meet high demand by easing requirements for replacing old reactors with new ones. When rebuilding at a plant site is not possible, power companies will be allowed to establish replacement reactors...
