₹1.86 Lakh Crore Green Corridor Push Opens Transmission Opportunity
India is building more solar and wind power, but that electricity needs wires and substations to reach people.

The plan has a total budget of ₹1.86 lakh crore and aims to help move up to 135 gigawatts of renewable power by FY33.
The article looks at three companies that work on power lines and related projects.
KEC has a large transmission order pipeline, but its latest quarterly profit fell.
Power Grid has many projects underway and plans substantial spending on new assets.
Kalpataru reported higher quarterly profit and a large backlog of orders.
The article says their opportunity depends on delivering projects, improving finances where needed, and turning plans into operating assets.
