The stock is performing well following Power Grid Corporation’s acquisition of MEL Power Transmission Ltd (MPTL), the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established for implementing the ‘Transmission System for evacuation of power from Mahan Energen Limited Generating Station in Madhya Pradesh’. The acquisition was made on a build, own, operate, and transfer (BOOT) basis from the bid process coordinator, PFC Consulting Ltd (PFCCL).
The project includes the development of a 400kV double circuit transmission line and related bays at the existing Rewa Power Station (PG) sub-station in Madhya Pradesh.
Power Grid acquired MPTL after emerging as the successful bidder under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process. MPTL will operate in the same line of business as Power Grid — the transmission of electric power.
Power Grid Corporation of India is a state-owned electric utility company headquartered in Gurgaon, India, playing a vital role in the country’s power transmission infrastructure.
