Power Grid Acquires SR and ER Power Transmission Ltd for ₹19.63 Crore
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited acquired SR and ER Power Transmission Limited for approximately ₹19.63 Crore on February 3, 2026. This acquisition is for the "Inter-Regional Strengthening between SR Grid and ER Grid" project. SRERPTL, a project SPV, was acquired 100% and is yet to commence operations.
The acquisition amount of ₹19.63 Crore is relatively small compared to POWERGRID's overall scale, suggesting a medium impact on its financial standing and operations. However, it is strategically important for regional grid strengthening.
The acquisition is positive as it expands POWERGRID's transmission infrastructure and aligns with its core business objectives, indicating growth and strategic expansion.
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) has acquired SR and ER Power Transmission Limited (SRERPTL), a project Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), on February 3, 2026. This acquisition is part of establishing the "Inter-Regional Strengthening between SR Grid and ER Grid" project on a build, own, operate, and transfer (BOOT) basis. SRERPTL was selected as the successful bidder under Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB).
The project involves establishing 765 kV D/c Transmission Lines traversing through Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, along with associated line bays and reactors. SRERPTL was incorporated on August 22, 2025, by the Bid Process Coordinator, PFC Consulting Limited (PFCCL), and is yet to commence commercial operations, thus having no turnover in the last three years.
POWERGRID acquired 100% of SRERPTL for an aggregate value of approximately ₹19.63 Crore. This includes 10,000 equity shares at par (₹10 each) along with the assets and liabilities of SRERPTL as of the acquisition date. The acquisition price is subject to adjustments based on the audited accounts as of the acquisition date. The acquisition does not fall under related party transactions, and prior to this, POWERGRID had no interest in SRERPTL.
Requisite approvals for the transfer of SRERPTL were obtained by the Bid Process Coordinator. SRERPTL will now seek approvals for the Grant of Transmission License and Adoption of Transmission Charges from the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC). The acquired entity will operate in the power transmission industry, aligning with POWERGRID's core business.
