Government of UP Approves Construction of GIS Substation in Rasra, Ballia

The Government of UP has greenlit the construction of a Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation in Rasra, Ballia, signaling a significant step towards enhancing the state’s power infrastructure. The Council of Ministers approved the project, which includes the establishment of a 400/220/132 KV GIS substation along with related lines, including a 125 MVAR bus reactor.

This ambitious endeavor comes with a revised cost estimate of ₹537.38 crores, inclusive of GST. To facilitate funding for the project, the Council of Ministers has devised a financing strategy where 30% of the revised cost will be covered through government share capital, while the remaining 70% will be sourced through loans from financing institutions.

The decision underscores the government’s commitment to modernizing and strengthening the state’s power transmission and distribution networks. The establishment of the GIS substation in Rasra, Ballia, is expected to bolster electricity supply reliability and efficiency in the region, catering to the growing demand for power infrastructure amidst rapid urbanization and industrialization.

This strategic investment aligns with Uttar Pradesh’s broader vision for socio-economic development, ensuring reliable access to electricity for residents, businesses, and industries. The project is poised to stimulate economic growth, attract investments, and improve the overall quality of life for the people of Uttar Pradesh.

With the approval secured and financing mechanisms in place, the government is set to initiate the implementation phase, marking a significant milestone in the state’s journey towards a more robust and resilient power infrastructure.
