South to get surplus power from North.

At a time when Southern States are crying over the lack of proper connectivity between the Southern and Northern grids, the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL) said, early next year it is planning to commence two transmission lines, which will address this problem.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of PGCIL's FPO roadshow N Ravikumar, executive director (southern region) PGCIL said, the corporation is planning to commission the Raichur-Solapur transmission line, and all the southern states, including Tamil Nadu will be benefited by getting power from Northern states.
