Project Dashboard Varanasi: Old Kashi Area

16-October-2024

Project Dashboard - Varanasi -Old Kashi Area

Objective: Strengthening of Urban Distribution Infrastructure

Other than Old Kashi Area

Project Summary
Main Components of work (Rs. 432 Cr.)

•	New 33/11 kV Substation	:	2
•	Augmentation of 33/11 kV S/s	:	16
•	HT Underground Cabling (Km)	:	163
•	Augmentation of HT Lines	:	126 Km
•	Augmentation of LT Lines	:	400 Km
•	Distribution Transformers	:	40

Impact Horizon (Varanasi town)
•	Population	:	12,83,601
•	No. of Consumers	:	2,84,583
•	Baseline AT&C Loss(%)	:	42.64

Issues/Risks:
	• Stringent timelines and challenges to work in densely populated Old Kashi area
Milestone achieved:
	• 53.411 Km roads handed over to VMC
	• U/G cabling 575 Km, service connection wiring - 218,97, service connection -100,24
	• Capacity building enhancement of Kabir Nagar (1x10 MVA), Bhelupur (3x10 MVA) charged on load, Machhodari (1x10) & Alaipur (2x10 MVA) charged on no load
Key upcoming Milestones:
	• New S/S Kajjakpura commissioning
