Cabinet approves Green Energy Corridor Phase-III scheme
30 Sept, 16:39 IST · Plays out over months · 1 source
The government approved new power lines to carry 135 GW of solar and wind power, so grid builders and green power firms gain more business, with no clear losers for now.
Key facts
What the reporting establishes, before any reading of it.
- Cabinet approved Green Energy Corridor Phase-III scheme
- Scheme to enable evacuation of up to 135 GW of renewable energy
- Strengthens Intra-State Transmission System across States/UTs
How the news spreads
Step by step — from the first companies it hits to whole sectors.
Who it hits first
- The Cabinet approved Green Energy Corridor Phase-III to strengthen state power lines so up to 135 GW of solar and wind power can flow to buyers.
- Power Grid Corporation, India's national power-line operator, gets the clearest demand boost because it builds and runs much of this grid.
- Adani Green Energy, a large solar and wind power producer, and Tata Power Company, a power maker and city power supplier, gain because less green power gets stuck for want of lines.
- Makers of grid gear such as Siemens, ABB and CG Power, which already supply Power Grid and Tata Power, see a bigger order pipeline.
Who may gain
- Power Grid Corporation (national grid operator) — first call for planning and building the new lines.
- Adani Energy Solutions (private transmission builder) — more state-line tenders to bid for.
- Green power producers Adani Green Energy, Tata Power, NTPC Green Energy and Acme Solar — faster project hook-ups and less wasted power.
- Equipment makers Siemens, ABB, CG Power, Apar Industries and KEI — transformers, switchgear and cables for the build.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Downstream, steadier green power flows to state distributors and big users; Tata Power already supplies power to Tata Steel, so its steel customer gets more reliable clean supply as bottlenecks ease.
Upstream
Upstream, gear suppliers to Power Grid and Tata Power — Siemens, ABB, CG Power, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Apar Industries (cables), KEI (cables), Skipper and Salasar (towers) — get fresh demand for transformers, switchgear, wires and steel structures.
Where demand moves
Business
State power companies order new lines and substations; transmission builders book the work, equipment makers supply gear, and solar and wind farms sell more hours of power once evacuation improves.
Capital
Investors bid up transmission and green-power shares on stronger order visibility, while lenders such as REC, which already funds Power Grid, Adani Green and Tata Power, see a larger loan pipeline.
How it spreads across sectors
Capital Goods
Second-order orders — transformer, cable and tower makers ride the new spending.
Infrastructure
Construction uplift — line-building and substation work flows to contractors.
Power
Direct lift — grid owners and green generators gain orders and output.
A pattern seen before
Cascade chain
- Cabinet nod for 135 GW RE evacuation → intra-state transmission tenders
- Transmission tenders → orders for Power Grid and Adani Energy Solutions
- Grid build → transformers, cables and towers from Siemens, ABB, CG Power and KEI
- Stronger evacuation → faster solar and wind commissioning for Adani Green, Tata Power and NTPC Green

When it plays out
Immediate
Transmission and green-power shares react on the approval; Power Grid and Adani Energy Solutions lead.
Medium term
State awards and commissioning progress decide who converts the 135 GW plan into revenue.
Short term
Tender talk and brokerage notes size the order pipeline; equipment makers start to move.
