THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRIMATI JAYAWANTI MEHTA )
(a) & (b) : There is a proposal for construction of Kolar-Calicut transmission line via
Mysore in two sections i.e. (i) Kolar-Hosur 400 KV D/C line and (ii) Hosur-Calicut (via
Mysore) 400 KV D/C line. The Kolar-Hosur line is being constructed by POWERGRID
as a part of Talcher-II Transmission System. The Hosur-Clicut line is proposed to be
constructed under Ennore Transmission System. However, the schedule of this project is
uncertain. Therefore, in addition to the existing 400 KV D/C line from Udumalpet
(Tamil Nadu) to Thrissur (Kerala) and a second line from Madurai to
Thiruvananthapuram (which is under construction by POWERGRID with expected
commissioning in 2003-04), a third 400 KV transmission line to Kerala is being
considered under other central sector generation projects which are proposed to come up
by the end of tenth five year plan or early in the eleventh plan.
