Apraava Energy: Energizing Rajasthan’s Renewable Future

Apraava Energy has successfully commissioned the Fatehgarh IV transmission line and the Barmer pooling station in Rajasthan, strengthening renewable energy evacuation infrastructure in the region.

The 22-km Fatehgarh IV transmission line and the 400/220 kV Barmer pooling station form key components of the transmission network designed to evacuate power from Rajasthan’s Renewable Energy Zones (REZ), particularly targeting 20 GW under Phase-III Part A1. The project was executed under the ISTS-TBCB framework through Fatehgarh IV Transmission Limited.

The transmission system has a capacity of 2.5 GW, supported by five 500 MVA transformers. It connects to the Fatehgarh-III Substation and significantly improves renewable power evacuation from the Jaisalmer–Barmer region.

Despite challenges such as extreme weather conditions, land acquisition hurdles, and border tensions, the project has been completed among the fastest transmission schemes under Rajasthan’s REZ Phase-III programme.

Apraava Energy currently operates three transmission assets covering approximately 516 km across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, with a combined substation capacity of 3.5 GW. The company is also developing three greenfield transmission projects involving about 470 km of transmission lines and grid substations with a combined capacity of nearly 8 GW.
