D/c line & Raigarh (Kotra) – Raigarh (Tamnar) 765 kV D/c at Raigarh (Tamnar)] to be utilized for
termination of 765 kV lines at Raigarh (Tamnar) S/s i.e. 2 nos. for Raigarh (Tamnar) – Raigarh
(Kotra-II) 765 kV D/c proposed line and 2 nos. for Raigarh (Tamnar) – Jamshedpur (New) 765 kV
D/c proposed line.
2. After the implementation of subject bypassing arrangement at the outskirts of Raigarh (Tamnar) S/s,
the existing unutilized portions of Raigarh (Kotra) – Raigarh (Tamnar) and Raigarh (Tamnar) –

termination of proposed 765 kV D/c lines under the subject scheme i.e. proposed 765 kV D/c lines
may be terminated at bypassing points. This shall ensure utilization of existing ISTS transmission
infrastructure. However, if the said existing ISTS transmission line sections remain unutilized at
Raigarh (Tamnar) end, due to any reason, the same shall be dismantled by the TSP of the subject
scheme and cost of scrapped assets may be adjusted under subject transmission scheme. In both cases
(viz. utilization of existing line sections or its scarping), the original tariff of Raigarh (Tamnar) –
Dharamjaygarh (Sec-B) 765 kV D/c line & Raigarh (Kotra) – Raigarh (Tamnar) 765 kV D/c line
shall remain unaffected.
Also, TSP of Raigarh (Tamnar) S/s shall provide space for above scope of work at the existing
Raigarh (Tamnar) S/s free of cost.

D/c line (for tripping of the switchable line reactor at Dharamjaygarh (Sec-B) end along with the
main line breaker).
4. TSP of the subject scheme shall implement Inter-tripping scheme on Raigarh (Kotra)-II –
Jharsuguda 765 kV D/c line (for tripping of the switchable line reactor at Raigarh (Kotra)-II end
along with the main line breaker).
5. LILO of Ranchi (New) – Medinipur 765 kV D/c line at Jamshedpur (New) shall be carried out
such that one circuit of Ranchi (New) – Jamshedpur (New) 765 kV D/c line and one circuit of
Jamshedpur (New) – Medinipur 765 kV D/c line are terminated in same diameter. Similarly,
second circuit of both line sections may also be terminated in bays of the same diameter.
6. LILO of Ranchi (New) – New PPSP 400 kV D/c line at Jamshedpur (New) shall be carried out
such that one circuit of Ranchi (New) – Jamshedpur (New) 400 kV D/c line and one circuit of
Jamshedpur (New) – New PPSP 400 kV D/c line are terminated in same diameter. Similarly,
second circuit of both line sections may also be terminated in bays of the same diameter.
