Kolkata, Oct 1: State-owned Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) is building a transmission line between West Bengal and Bihar at a cost of Rs 800 crore that will enhance electricity supply infrastructure.
"We are constructing a transmission line between Rajarhat (West Bengal) and Purnia in Bihar. This will help power evacuation for NTPC power projects at Farraka and Kahelgoan," Power Grid GM M M Baidya said here today at BNCCI.

PGCIL said it has 30 acres of land at Rajarhat required for the sub-station. Baidya said that besides building the new line, PGCIL is also carrying out renovation activity of the transmission lines.
"We are modernising the Malda-Farraka line with new conductors that will increase the capacity by 1.5 times," he pointed.
