Powering Progress: Gujarat Achieves 99.47% Grid Availability
Delivering Reliable Power Across Gujarat with 99.47% Infrastructure Availability
Gujarat stands at the forefront of India’s renewable energy transformation—not only because of its abundant solar and wind resources, but also due to its strategic investments in transmission infrastructure.
🔌 Expanding the Substation Network
The Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation (GETCO) has significantly scaled up the state’s power transmission capabilities. The current network includes:
• 2,318 substations
• 7,485 transformers
• Over 74,000 circuit kilometers of transmission lines
With an impressive 99.47% availability rate, this infrastructure ensures reliable power delivery across Gujarat.
Looking ahead, GETCO has committed ₹1 lakh crore by 2030 to further strengthen the grid. The roadmap includes 1,000 new substations—850 at 66kV and 150 at higher voltages (220kV, 400kV, and 765kV)—to support growing energy demand and renewable energy integration.
🌞 Leading in Renewable Energy Capacity
Gujarat has achieved an installed renewable energy capacity of 29.52 GW, making it one of India’s top-performing states. With 14.7 GW of solar power, the state leads the nation and aims to add 31.9 GW more through solar-wind hybrid projects.
🏗️ Pioneering Projects and Collaborations
• PM-KUSUM Component C (Decentralized Solar): Gujarat is deploying solar plants near agriculture feeders to power rural irrigation. This is transforming villages with daytime reliable power while reducing subsidy burdens on DISCOMs. Several MWs have already been commissioned with strong local participation.
• DREBP (Distributed Renewable Energy-Based Projects): Focused on under-electrified and remote areas, DREBP supports mini-grids, solar pumps, and cold storage systems. It complements PM-KUSUM by enhancing rural livelihoods, especially in tribal and salt pan regions.
• PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana: Targeting 1 crore rooftop solar installations, this national initiative is gaining rapid traction in Gujarat. With a robust rooftop policy and a streamlined subsidy mechanism, adoption is accelerating in cities like Ahmedabad, Rajkot, and Surat.
Powertrac Commissions 1 MW Solar Plant at Chacka Under PM-KUSUM C
Excited to announce the successful commissioning of our 3rd solar power plant at Chacka, Surendranagar, with a capacity of 1 MW under PM-KUSUM Component C.
Honored to Receive the Fastest Growing IPP Award
It’s a moment of immense pride as Powertrac has been recognized as the Fastest Growing IPP in Gujarat at the Sustainable Environment Summit, organized by the Knowledge Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) at Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU).

India’s Renewable Energy Vision – Powertrac’s Role
India aims to install 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, with over 180 GW already achieved — of which more than 85 GW is solar. Powertrac is proud to be an active contributor to this national goal, particularly through decentralized solar under the PM-KUSUM scheme, bringing long-term energy independence and economic benefit to farmers
