Transmission capacity up 53% in past four years: Uttar Pradesh CM

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath said selfreliance in the power sector is important for making UP ‘atmanirbhar’ and in the last four years the government has succeeded in increasing transmission capacity by 53% to 25,000 MW.

The CM inaugurated two sub-stations of 220 KV and nine sub-stations of 132 KV constructed at a cost of Rs 1,347.91 crore virtually on Saturday. Yogi also laid the foundation of 10 sub-stations of 220 KV and six sub-stations of 132 KV to be constructed for Rs1,347.91 crore.
