Alstom T&D India today announced that it has won two contracts worth Rs 176-crore order from Power Grid Corporation of India.

The orders are for the supply, erection, testing and commissioning of reactors for several 765 kV substations in different States.

These reactors will be produced at Alstom’s Vadodara unit, where the company produces extra and ultra high voltage products ranging from generator transformers, interconnecting transformers, shunt reactors and HVDC transformers, says a press release from the company.

These reactors, once installed, will strengthen power transmission network in Eastern, Northern and Western regions of India and reduce the gap between demand and supply of power, the release added.
