Advait Energy Transitions Limited has successfully installed and energised the ACCC® Daman Conductor for the Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO), setting a new standard in grid capacity enhancement without new infrastructure.
The project, executed in the Amreli zone, involved the reconductoring of three key 66 kV lines—Machiyla–Malviya Pipariya, Bhingrad–Lath, and Dhasa–Bhingrad—which were previously using ACSR Dog conductors. Rather than rebuild towers or expand rights-of-way, GETCO chose a sustainable alternative: to upgrade using the advanced ACCC® Daman Conductor. Manufactured by Sterlite Power and developed by U.S.-based CTC Global, the ACCC® Daman Conductor uses a 4.83 mm composite core that matches the dimensions of traditional conductors but delivers twice the ampacity. The conductor is designed for minimal sag, higher thermal performance, and increased power transfer—ideal for congested corridors and infrastructure-limited zones. “This project is a proud moment for us,” said Shalin Sheth, Founder and Managing Director of Advait Energy Transitions. “It marks our commitment to leading energy transitions through innovation, and this milestone underscores our role in redefining transmission efficiency in India.” The entire reconductoring project was completed in just 67 days despite logistical and right-of-way challenges. Advait deployed specialised stringing tools and cutting-edge techniques to ensure safe, precise execution in densely populated and constrained areas.
CTC Global’s Vice President for South Asia, Hitesh Mundhada, said, “We are pleased to see India’s first successful energization of the ACCC® Daman Conductor. It is a significant step forward in making India’s sub-transmission networks more efficient and resilient.” The project was supported through coordinated efforts from key stakeholders including GETCO, Sterlite Power, CTC Global, and Tag Corporation. It is seen as more than a technical upgrade—it represents a strategic approach to grid modernisation, allowing utilities to increase capacity and reliability without costly delays or environmental impact. As India moves toward its renewable energy and climate targets, efficient transmission systems will be critical. This installation sets a precedent for utilities across the country to adopt high-performance conductors that align with the goals of energy security, sustainability, and smart grid development.
With this successful deployment, Advait Energy Transitions positions itself at the forefront of India’s grid transformation efforts, signalling the start of broader adoption of next-generation conductor technologies nationwide.
