State-wise 220 / 400 / 765 kV substation pipeline
Updated as on 05 Sept 2026, 10:00 pm ISTIndia's ISTS/InSTS substation pipeline is rapidly expanding to evacuate 100+ GW of committed solar/wind/hybrid capacity, led by Gujarat's Lakadia & Khavda REZs (7.5+30 GW), Rajasthan's Barmer HVDC corridor, and TBCB-won schemes in Maharashtra (Wagdari), J&K and Ladakh, alongside grid-strengthening links like Tata Power's Khurja-Jalpura in UP.
Without timely 400/765kV pooling stations and HVDC links, gigawatts of contracted RE capacity in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Ladakh risk curtailment; CTUIL/CEA's General Network Access and TBCB bidding rounds (Lakadia-II, Barmer HVDC, Wagdari) are pacing items for India's 2030 500GW non-fossil target.
