The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has announced plans to build two 33/11 kV substations in Astauli and Badalpur, investing Rs 32 crore to enhance the electricity infrastructure. Officials stated the project aims to improve power distribution in these areas and nearby regions.
GNIDA officials stated that the tender process for both substations has been completed, with bids expected to be opened by the end of this month.
“The two new substations at Astauli and Badalpur will help us provide a more stable and reliable power supply to the surrounding areas. We have completed all procedural formalities,” said GNIDA Additional CEO Prerna Singh. “The substations, which will take nearly a year to construct, are expected to significantly enhance power supply and stability in the region,” she added, according to the HT report.
High-Mast And Streetlights In Key Areas
In addition to the substations, the authority will install high-mast and streetlights at key locations such as Jalpur Gaushala, Ecotech 3, Reserve Police Line, Toy City, and Women Entrepreneur Park Parts 1 and 2. Officials said these installations will cost approximately Rs 3.91 crore.
“We are committed to strengthening the power infrastructure in Greater Noida. The lighting projects are part of our plan to enhance safety and visibility at night,” Singh said, according to the HT report.
These initiatives aim to reduce power outages, enhance voltage stability, and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to residential, industrial, and commercial areas. Relevant departments have been instructed to ensure timely execution.
“We are glad the authorities are improving the power supply and lighting in our area,” said Ramesh Gupta, a resident of Badalpur. “This will make a huge difference in reducing power cuts and improving night-time safety,” he added, according to the HT report.
