India Proposes Monetization of Transmission Assets for Network Expansion

India wants to sell parts of its power transmission system to private companies.

This will help raise money to build more power lines and towers.

The government needs this to happen because it wants to add more renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, but needs a strong power transmission network to handle them.

This is because these energy sources can be unpredictable.

The CEA has suggested a few ways to do this, and similar things have been done before.

India's transmission network is one of the largest in the world, but it needs to grow faster to meet the country's energy needs.
