India is standing on threshold of becoming a superpower by the year 2030. A conclusive growth of a country takes into account all the major sectors involved in running its economy every day. One of the most important sector out of these is ‘Power Sector’. All the three parts of power sector i.e. Generation, Transmission and distribution have gone a rapid transformation since independence and development of all the three sub-sectors is important to ensure overall growth of Indian power sector. Since the day government has introduced open access in power sector which has been termed as giant leap for our country’s power sector, there has been a tremendous response from both sides (consumers as well as producers). After the creation of PGCIL in 1989 the growth of transmission has been manifold since the operations have been handed over by NTPC to PGCIL. It is notable to mention the achievement of PGCIL in transmission Sub-sector which has pioneered in this field and is running its operation in 10+ countries besides its pan-India operation, this alone is enough to prove the fast transformation Power sector has seen in recent years.
