Indian group Bajel Projects Limited, a leading player in the business of power infrastructure, has announced that it has secured two orders from the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region for the installation of 500 kV overhead transmission lines (OHTLs)– Lot 1 and 5.

The combined order value falls under the ultra-mega category – in the range of Rs4 billion ($43 million) – covering the construction of two contiguous sections of the 500 kV overhead transmission lines, said Bajel Projects in its LinkedIn post. 

The project is part of a flagship national grid reinforcement programme aimed at strengthening the high-voltage backbone in the Mena region and enabling reliable power evacuation to support growing economic and industrial demand, it stated.

It builds on the company’s growing Mena presence, including its 50:50 joint venture with the Al Sharif Group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it added.
