Introduction:
Texmaco Rail & Engineering Limited, a vital player in railway infrastructure development, has been awarded a significant electrification contract by Central Railway. The company has received a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) for the design, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of a 110 KV/25 KV AC Traction Substation (TSS), Sectioning and Paralleling Post (SSP), and associated works.
This project marks another strategic milestone in India’s expanding railway electrification and modernization development, which aims to improve operational efficiency, energy savings, and sustainability across the rail network.
Key Highlights of the Project:
- Client: Central Railway
- Contract Value: Rs. 73.12 Crores
- Execution Period: 24 Months
- Scope Includes:
- Design and installation of 110KV/25KV AC Traction Substation.
- Construction and commissioning of Sectioning and Paralleling Post (SSP).
- Associated civil, electrical, and commissioning works.
- Provision of incoming supply infrastructure.
- Modification of 132KV transmission lines using High-Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) conductors to enable high-reliability incoming supply.
Strategic Importance of the Project:
This contract is considered a composite order involving end-to-end electrification and substation setup, playing a crucial role in enhancing the power supply infrastructure for Indian Railways. By integrating HTLS conductors, the project aims to improve the thermal efficiency and current-carrying capacity of the transmission line, enabling seamless power flow to traction substations.
The implementation of this high-capacity substation infrastructure is expected to:
