The Raigarh-Pugalur 800 kilovolt (kV) ultrahigh-voltage direct current (UHVDC) system will connect Raigarh in Central India to Pugalur in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
The 1,830 kilometer (km) link will be among the longest in the world. With a capacity of 6,000 megawatts the equivalent of more than six large power plants it will be enough to meet the electricity needs of over 80 million people in India.
