Power Grid Corporation of India (INE752E01010) acquired two transmission companies for INR 391.6 million on October 12, 2026, adding renewable-energy projects to its development pipeline. According to TradeBrains, the purchases covered Lakadia C Power Transmission and Jam Khambhaliya REZ Transmission.

The deal expands a INR 1.75 trillion pipeline

The two project companies will build substations and high-voltage lines in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Their combined purchase value equals 391.6 million Indian rupees, while works in hand stood at INR 1.75 trillion at the end of June 2026, according to TradeBrains. The purchases therefore add little immediate revenue but strengthen the asset pipeline that supports future regulated transmission income.

Power Grid also guided for INR 370.0 billion of capital spending in fiscal 2027 and spent INR 77.65 billion in the first quarter. The company must still secure transmission licenses and regulatory approval for charges before the new assets begin commercial operations.

Three milestones shaped the latest update

On September 22, 2026, Power Grid commissioned a 20 GW Rajasthan renewable-energy evacuation project. On October 5, 2026, it completed a 2,500 MW transmission project in Bidar, Karnataka. On October 12, 2026, it acquired the two Gujarat and Maharashtra project companies, with the sequence reported by TradeBrains and TradeBrains.

The official Power Grid results archive identifies the period as quarter one of fiscal 2026-27. The project pipeline offers growth potential, but execution, financing costs and regulatory approvals will determine when that potential reaches reported earnings.
