Power Grid's Equity Investment Limit Enhanced to ₹7,500 Crore Per Subsidiary
POWERGRID's equity investment limit per subsidiary has been increased from ₹5,000 crore to ₹7,500 crore by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. This enhancement, while retaining the 15% net worth cap, aims to boost investments in transmission infrastructure and renewable energy evacuation.
The significant increase in the equity investment limit will enable POWERGRID to participate in larger, capital-intensive projects, directly impacting its future business and infrastructure development.
The increased investment limit allows POWERGRID to undertake larger projects, which is positive for its growth and contribution to national energy goals.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved an enhanced delegation of powers to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) under the extant guidelines for Maharatna CPSEs.
This approval increases POWERGRID's permissible equity investment limit from the current threshold of ₹5,000 crore per subsidiary to ₹7,500 crore per subsidiary. The existing cap of 15% of the company's net worth remains unchanged.
The enhanced limit will enable POWERGRID to expand its investment in its core transmission business, support the evacuation of renewable energy capacity, and aid in achieving the national target of 500 GW from non-fossil-based sources. It will also allow POWERGRID to participate in bids for capital-intensive transmission projects like Ultra High Voltage Alternating Current (UHV AC) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) networks, thereby broadening competition in Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) and leading to better price discovery for affordable and clean energy.
