Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has commissioned two 220/20kV substations in Afghanistan. The project has been executed by BHEL on EPC basis. The substations have been commissioned at Charikar, around 60 kms from Kabul and Doshi, around 150 kms from Kabul. Both the substations are part of the 220 kV Phul e Khumri-Kabul transmission system and will provide power to Charikar and Doshi sites and their neighbouring areas.
The company has recently achieved another milestone by successfully commissioning the first 600 MW coal-based thermal power plant in the state of Telangana.
