Tata Power has successfully commissioned the 400 kV Koteshwar-Rishikesh transmission line, a critical link that will enable the evacuation of 1,000 MW of hydropower from the Tehri-Koteshwar generation complex in Uttarakhand to multiple northern states and union territories. The project was executed under NRSS XXXVI Transmission Limited, a joint venture promoted by Tata Power, ICICI Bank Limited and global investors.
