BHEL would construct two large sized greenfield, 765/400 kV substations at Medinipur and Jeerat near Kolkata which strengthen the 765 kV system in the eastern region.
 
The substations would be commissioned within 30 months. The project shall be engineered and delivered by BHEL on total turnkey basis.
