Note-2: a) 240MVAr line reactor at Pune(GIS) end of Pune(GIS) – Aurangabad 765kV line is already switchable. Since length of the line will reduce after the LILO at Alephata (Pune(GIS) – Alephata), NGR Bypassing along with Inter tripping scheme would need to be implemented to avoid parallel resonance phenomena due to overcompensation on the short line. NGR bypassing also helps in utilization of switchable LR as Bus Reactor when line is out of service. As confirmed by POWERGRID vide e-mail dated 02.12.2024, NGR bypass arrangement in 240MVAr line reactor at Pune(GIS) end of 765kV Pune(GIS) – Aurangabad line is available. Hence, only Inter tripping scheme to trip switchable LR along with main line breaker would need to be enabled after implementation of LILO, which shall be ensured by TSP in coordination with POWERGRID. After the LILO, Alephata – Aurangabad line length is expected to be ~190-200km, Alephata – Padghe: ~140km. & Alephata – Pune(GIS): ~70km. The lengths are tentative and subject to change. b) Alephata – Pune(West) 765kV D/c line has been proposed by MSETCL it its master plan for 2030. Same may be implemented by MSETCL along with associated bays at both ends as per requirement. Line shall be terminated at 765kV Sec-II of Alephata S/s. c) After implementation of Alephata – Lonikand-I 400kV D/c line by TSP under subject scheme and Pune(East)(Karjat-II) S/s – Lonikand-II 400kV D/c line by MSETCL under In-STS scheme, 400kV interconnector between Lonikand-I and Lonikand-II may be kept normally open (for fault level control) and may be closed based on requirement of Grid Operation. TSP to sensitize MSETCL after completion of above lines. 8. The appointment of the Bid Process Coordinator is subject to the conditions laid down in the Guidelines issued by Ministry of Power in this regard, amended from time to time. 9. BPCs shall ensure RoW optimization as per the CEA's Committee report dated 24.09.2024 for calculation of reduction of Right of Way (RoW) Width through Technological Options. 10. Monopole tower structures, insulated cross arms and other RoW corridor optimization measures to be adopted in urban/ semi-urban /forest areas. 11. Monopole tower structures to be used where RoW issues are anticipated, while lattice towers shall be used in other sections. 12. Further, the route must be finalised after validation on PM Gati Shakti portal and physical survey. [F. No. 34-15/3/2026-Trans] NAOREM INDRAKUMAR SINGH. Under Secy.
