Khavda IV-C Transmission Corridor Supports India’s Green Transition
India is building more renewable-energy projects, such as solar and wind facilities.
Much of this energy is produced far from the cities and industries that use it.
Transmission lines work like large electricity highways that carry power over long distances.
The Khavda IV-C project is designed to move renewable electricity from Gujarat to Maharashtra.
Its Maharashtra section will cover about 306 circuit kilometres and pass through 150 villages.
The project is expected to improve power reliability in several parts of Maharashtra.
It will also connect with existing transmission lines serving Nashik and other areas.
Supporters say the project could help businesses, create jobs and encourage cleaner economic growth.
India is targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, with more than 300.5 GW reported as achieved by July 2026.
The Khavda region in Gujarat is emerging as a major renewable-energy generation hub.
The Maharashtra section of Khavda IV-C spans about 306 circuit kilometres across 150 villages and five talukas.
Four transmission lines are intended to move renewable electricity from Gujarat toward Maharashtra and strengthen regional power supplies.
The project is expected to support power reliability in Bhiwandi, Shahapur, Wada, Vikramgad and Nashik while easing pressure on existing networks.
