Sterlite Technologies has received two mega contracts from Power Grid Corporation of India for manufacture and supply of power conductors.

The first contract is for Sterlite power conductors that would be used in the 765kV double circuit Champa- Raipur Pooling Station transmission line in Chhattisgarh. This is one of India's first 765KV double circuit transmission systems being developed by a public sector company, designed for high voltage power transmission. The second contract is for power conductors to be used in the 400kV Kishnganj-Patna Line. This transmission system is intended to evacuate power from hydroelectric generation projects in Sikkim, to the Northern and Western regions of India.

These contracts valued at about 225 crore are part of a total bank of new orders valued at about 450 crore that Sterlite has received since July this year.
