Power Finance Corporation Ltd has incorporated Satara Power Transmission Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary to facilitate a network expansion scheme in the Western Region. The new entity, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), was established by PFC Consulting Limited, which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of power finance corporation . The incorporation aims to support the development of transmission infrastructure for pumped storage potential near Satara, with a capacity of up to 4500 MW under Part A of the scheme.
PFC Consulting Limited has been designated as the Bid Process Coordinator (BPC) by the Ministry of Power, Government of India. Its role involves selecting a developer through tariff-based competitive bidding for Independent Transmission Projects (ITPs). As per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Power, the BPC is responsible for preparing the project profile and initiating land acquisition and forest clearance processes where necessary. The SPV is required to carry out these preparatory activities, including surveys, report preparation, and the initiation of land and forest clearance processes.
The Ministry of Power, via a gazette notification dated March 24, 2026, officially notified PFC Consulting Limited as the BPC for selecting a bidder to act as the Transmission Service Provider (TSP) for this specific transmission system.
