(vi) North-Eastern Region Power System Improvement Project (NERPSIP): Implementation of this project (as central Sector Scheme, with funding on 50:50 basis by GoI & World Bank) would strengthen the Intra-State transmission & Distribution infrastructure of six states of North Eastern Region (Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura); improve its connectivity to the upcoming load centers, and thus would extend the benefits of the grid-connected power to all the consumers. The project would also provide the required grid connectivity to such villages and towns of the States, where development of distribution system at the downstream level has been taking place under Gol sponsored RGGVY/ APDRP/ R-APDRP schemes. NERPSIP covers many transmission & distribution lines & sub-stations at 33kV, 66kV, 132kV and 220kV voltage levels.
