Since then, Alstom Grid has maintained a strong role in the EHV market in India with many transmission technology products, offered through the companyÂ’s many manufacturing facilities.

Alstom Grid has been selected to supply extra high voltage transmission equipments to 28 out of 47 projects for 765 kV substations in India.
