India Transmission Line Market

India Transmission Line Market Size and Share: 

The India transmission line market size reached USD 9.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.10% during 2025-2033. The growing focus on developing cyclone-resilient infrastructure to ensure transmission continuity, increasing number of renewable energy zones that require high-capacity transmission corridors, and rising need for energy infrastructure to facilitate industrial development are some of the factors impelling the market growth.

India Transmission Line Market Trends:

Climate Resilience and Disaster-Proofing of Transmission Infrastructure

Severe weather occurrences, including floods, cyclones, and heatwaves, are heightening the susceptibility of transmission infrastructure. Planners are emphasizing climate-resilient designs to ensure transmission continuity is maintained. For instance, in 2024, Empowertrans commissioned India's first cyclone-resistant 220kV transmission line in Odisha. The project replaced a cyclone-damaged 26 km line connecting the Pandiabili and Samagara substations, designed to withstand extreme cyclones. This initiative provided a new standard for transmission infrastructure in cyclone-prone regions. Besides this, towers and substations are being redesigned to endure strong wind forces, water intrusion, and temperature strain. The choice of transmission routes is progressively relying on environmental risk mapping. Redundancy planning and interconnected networks are decreasing reliance on individual corridors. The use of weather prediction tools and remote diagnostics is enhancing readiness and reducing service interruptions. These resilience strategies are incorporated into regulatory frameworks and procurement criteria, guaranteeing that new transmission installations are constructed to withstand climate-induced pressures with little disruption.

Expansion of Renewable Energy Parks and Energy Zones

Dedicated renewable energy zones are being developed in states abundant in solar and wind resources to consolidate generation and simplify transmission planning. These zones require high-capacity transmission corridors that can evacuate power efficiently to demand centers. Centralized planning for energy parks is enabling economies of scale in both generation and transmission infrastructure. Regulatory bodies are prioritizing these projects through competitive bidding and expedited clearances to meet national clean energy targets. For example, in 2025, Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) secured two transmission projects from PFC Consulting to evacuate 15.5 GW of renewable energy in Karnataka and Rajasthan. The projects involve establishing new substations and upgrading existing ones to support the renewable energy zones. Furthermore, investments are focused on strengthening inter-regional connectivity and reinforcing weak links in the existing grid. By supporting energy flow from renewable-heavy states to demand centers, these efforts are reducing transmission bottlenecks and enabling smoother integration of variable power sources. This approach is key to maintaining system reliability while accelerating India’s renewable energy expansion.

Infrastructure Development and Clean Energy Projects

The rising need for energy infrastructure to facilitate industrial development and the shift towards clean energy is bolstering the market growth. As India speeds up its renewable energy goals, there is a higher need to upgrade the power transmission network and move energy from generation sites to utilization regions effectively. Significant infrastructure initiatives, including enhancing substations and broadening transmission networks, are essential for addressing the nation’s energy demands. Moreover, the growing focus on clean energy programs, such as green hydrogen and ammonia creation, is leading to substantial funding in transmission infrastructure to facilitate these eco-friendly initiatives. This trend is also being supported by private firms and government entities focusing on the advancement of sophisticated transmission lines to guarantee a dependable and expandable energy supply nationwide. In 2025, Adani Energy Solutions secured a $324 million transmission contract to power a green hydrogen and ammonia facility in Gujarat. The project includes upgrading substations and building a 75km transmission line. It supports the goal of India of making 5 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
