The link will act as a highway from North-Eastern region to rest of the country and will play a significant role in the hydro potential in the (North-Eastern) parts as well as lead to socio-economic development of India as a whole and the region in particular.

PGCIL is India’s principal electric power transmission company. It owns and operates most of India’s interstate and inter-regional electric power transmission systems with inter-regional power transfer capacity of about 20,800 MW and wheels nearly 45% of total power generated across India.
