Salasar Techno Engineering Limited has secured a new INR 232 crore turnkey transmission line project from Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL).
The project, supported by international funding from KfW, Germany's state owned promotional and development bank, is expected to strengthen power transmission infrastructure across key regions of Uttar Pradesh.
The project was awarded in November 2025 and involves the execution of a 400 KV DC Twin Moose Banda Chitrakoot transmission line. Salasar's scope of work includes engineering, detailed design, supply of equipment and materials, erection, testing and final commissioning.
