OUR STRATEGY

Our strategy is focused on addressing complex challenges in the sector by tackling the key constraints of time, space and capital. The Government’s vision of 24×7 energy access to all, coupled with the rapid development of renewable generation capacity, requires transmission projects to be commissioned in a fraction of the conventional time frame, creating a time constraint. Urbanization, environment regulations and Right of Way (ROW) issues create a space constraint for power transmission projects. The scale of investment required to build transmission capacity to meet the country’s power needs is significant, creating a capital constraint.

Through our Global Infrastructure Business, we bid, design, construct, own and operate power transmission assets across multiple geographies. Our expertise in project execution, business model innovation and leveraging cutting-edge technology has allowed us to build a track record of commissioning projects ahead of schedule, addressing the key constraint of time and capital.

Our Solutions Business provides bespoke solutions to solve complex problems for power utilities and industrial clients. Our focus on strengthening power delivery networks through bespoke solutions in the area of upgrade, uprate, extra high voltage (EHV) and fibre has helped us establish a firm footing on projects. Our technology-intensive solutions and innovative products enable clients to plan network expansions despite challenges of right of way (ROW), environment regulations and urbanization, thereby addressing space and time constraints.

Our Convergence Business operates at the confluence of the power and telecom sectors. We leverage our transmission infrastructure via a series of industry first solutions to roll out reliable communication networks for Internet Service Providers and Telecommunications companies, thereby advancing the Digital India mission.
