Smart Grid Technologies to Enhance Power Infrastructure
In addition to underground cabling, the project will incorporate advanced digital technologies, including:
- GIS Mapping (Geo Urja Mapping)
- Asset Tagging
- Ring Main System (RMS) integration
These smart utility solutions are expected to improve network monitoring, asset management, and maintenance efficiency while supporting India’s broader vision of developing intelligent and resilient power distribution networks.
Benefits of Underground Cabling
Replacing overhead power lines with underground cables offers several long-term advantages for both utility providers and consumers.
Key benefits include:
- Improved reliability of electricity supply
- Reduced outages caused by weather conditions
