The project was granted approval for energization by the authorities on 6^th February 2024 and was put to use.

KTL consists of one substation of 2 x 500 MVA capacity with 400/220 kV voltages, as well as 10 Bays with a LILO multi circuit line of ~18 kms. It will enable evacuation of 1 GW of power from renewable energy projects in Dharashiv area of Maharashtra and will play a key role in strengthening the transmission system of the state by improving the grid availability for evacuation & integration of renewable energy. In November 2022, IndiGrid was also awarded augmentation work in the KTL project to enable evacuation of an additional 1 GW of renewable power under the Regulated Tariff Mechanism (RTM).
