Under the deal, DSI will build a new 400kV double circuit transmission line for the hydropower project, which will run from Srinagar to Kashipur in Kumaon to improve the hydropower development in Uttarakhand.
DSI will build a 152km transmission line on quadruple bundled Bersimis conductor and carry out the survey, design, fabrication.
The deal requires DSI to deliver 400 kV DC transmission line towers, conductors and insulators, erect towers and other related materials, and test as well as commission the entire transmission line.
Drake & Scull Engineering managing director Ahmad Alnaser said the construction of the power transmission line will help supply up to 2,500MW of electricity to the North India grid which is underdeveloped and overstretched at present.
"We are currently undertaking projects worth AED 365 Million in India where we have already proved our credentials in the power sector by delivering a thermal power project and the Coal Conveyor system in Orissa besides the solar power project in Tamil Nadu in the past," Alnaser said.
