Chandigarh 16th October:- Sterlite
Power, a global leader in power transmission, has been awarded the
coveted ‘Gold’ award in the mega
sized projects category at the prestigious Global Project Excellence Award 2019 for
its Northern Region Strengthening Scheme (NRSS-29) project in Jammu
& Kashmir. The award was presented at the 31st IPMA World Congress
held on 1st October 2019 in Mexico.
The NRSS-29 project was one of the
largest and toughest private sector transmission projects commissioned in the
country till date. This 414 Km long transmission corridor of national
importance was constructed by overcoming extreme challenges of terrain and
weather. Sterlite Power delivered this critical project ahead of schedule with
innovative use of technology, synergistic partnerships and deeper engagement
with local communities. The project plays a vital role in bringing reliable
power to Jammu & Kashmir, especially during winter months when the region
traditionally suffered blackouts. This project had the unique distinction
of being dedicated to the nation by Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri
Narendra Modi, earlier this year in February 2019.
Commenting on the milestone, Pratik Agarwal, Group CEO, Sterlite
Power said that it is a matter
of great pride to receive this global honor from IPMA for our NRSS-29 power
transmission project which lights up the lives of 12.5 million people of Jammu
& Kashmir. We are grateful to our dedicated team of employees and partners
who worked relentlessly to overcome massive challenges and deliver one of the
toughest transmission projects in the country ahead of schedule.
Sterlite Power is the first Indian
power transmission company to achieve the prestigious Gold category award from
IPMA. The project won the highest recognition against strong competition from
other industry heavyweights such as China Energy Shenyang Group Co. Ltd,
Prysmian Powerlink Srl, Italy and PT. JGC Indonesia. International Project
Management Association (IPMA) is the world’s oldest project management
association based out of Netherlands. The IPMA award is given to projects
across the globe that demonstrate project management excellence.
