Transmission infrastructure reports: WBSETCL keeps losses at 2.20% and lines up Rs 10,943.27 crore capex pipeline
Transmission infrastructure reports indicate WBSETCL reporting total comprehensive income of Rs 656.18 crore for FY 2024–25. The operational highlight is transmission losses of 2.20%, below the 2.70% normative benchmark. This matters for a grid carrying higher peak demand. It also tightens confidence on day-to-day system balancing.
By March-end, the network stood at 16,966.609 circuit kilometres with 164 substations and 43,244.80 MVA of transformation capacity. For anyone tracking intra-state performance through Transmission infrastructure reports, this trio is the core capacity snapshot.
Tariff mechanics remain a moving part. WBERC applied a negative APR adjustment of Rs 162.73 crore in the latest tariff cycle. Even with this, WBSETCL recommended a dividend of Rs 0.91 per share, totalling about Rs 100.6 crore. Transmission infrastructure reports help separate operating efficiency from regulatory true-up impacts.
The strategic story is the planned buildout. WBSETCL has set a five-year capex plan of Rs 10,943.27 crore for new extra-high-voltage substations, capacity augmentation, and added redundancy. The roadmap targets higher substation count and transformation capacity by 2030. This scale sits alongside Smart grid upgrades and comparisons with Power Grid projects. Low losses improve avoided energy outcomes and strengthen the funding narrative for large capex cycles.
