Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) is advancing its efforts to enhance power supply in Gurugram by constructing two new substations. The 220kV substation located in Sector 75A is designed to address power supply gaps in both industrial and residential areas, particularly between Sohna Road and the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway. This facility, costing approximately ₹75 crore (around $9 million USD), will replace a defunct substation in Sector 77 that has been out of operation for eight years due to land disputes. Construction commenced last month and is projected to be completed in 18 months.
Additionally, a 66kV substation in Sector 37 Part II is expected to be commissioned in the next 10-15 days at a cost of ₹22 crore (about $2.65 million USD). This substation aims to provide uninterrupted power to the Sector 37 industrial hub. The project faced delays due to violations of pollution norms, with construction only starting in 2024 despite a work order issued in 2021. Together, these substations will significantly improve the reliability of power supply in Gurugram.
