Tamnar has completed construction work of Xeldem-Mapusa 400 kv D/c (Quad) line and Xeldem-Xeldem (existing) 220 kV HTLS D/c line transmission lines.
Transmission line projects are environmentally friendly and do not involve any disposal of solid effluents and hazardous substances in land, air and water.
The constructional features of 400 kV Transmission line is such that it is not affecting the environment as it’s not dividing the existing forest because of long spans between the towers.
Layout of transmission line follows along the forest road / forest block boundary thus involving minimum tree felling and also allowing free movement of birds due to high towers heights 45-50 metres.
