Sterlite Power, a power transmission developer and solutions provider in India and Brazil, has announced the acquisition of Kishtwar Transmission Ltd, a special purpose vehicle from Power Finance Corp. (PFC) arm PFC Consulting.
The project was awarded to Sterlite Power through tariff-based competitive bidding in March 2022. Through Kishtwar Transmission Ltd, the company will build, own, operate, and maintain a critical transmission project in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) for a period of 35 years.
