Salasar Techno Engineering Wins ₹68.67 Crore GIS Substation Project from POWERGRID

Salasar Techno Engineering has secured a INR 68.67 crore Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) Package SS-145 by Power Grid Corporation of India (POWERGRID). The project involves the establishment of a state-of-the-art GIS substation at Lawspet, Puducherry, under consultancy services to the Puducherry Electricity Department (PED).

The project awarded in December 2025 entails the design, engineering, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of a 110/22 kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS), along with all associated civil, structural, and electrical works. Once operational, the substation is expected to play a critical role in strengthening power distribution efficiency and overall grid resilience, supporting both existing electricity demand and future load growth driven by urbanisation and economic development in the region.

Commenting on the development, Shashank Agarwal, Managing Director, Salasar Techno Engineering, said, “Securing this GIS substation project from POWERGRID reflects Salasar’s continued progress in the high-voltage substation space. Our deep technical expertise, integrated EPC execution model, and strong focus on quality, safety, and timely delivery position us well to deliver reliable and future-ready power assets. We remain committed to supporting India’s power sector transformation through efficient and technologically advanced solutions.”

The project further reinforces Salasar Techno Engineering’s role as a trusted partner in building resilient, future-ready power transmission infrastructure critical to India’s long-term energy security goals and economic growth.
