In March 2023, Sterlite Power secured Part G Phase III of the Fatehgarh III Beawar Transmission Ltd. project. This phase, combined with Part F, involves building a 700 km transmission corridor. This corridor is essential for transferring a substantial portion of the 20 GW of renewable energy from areas rich in renewables like Fatehgarh (9.1 GW), Bhadla (8 GW), and Ramgarh (2.9 GW). When finished, this ambitious corridor will rank among the largest Green Energy Corridors in the country.
