MSETCL operates a transmission network of 43059 Circuit KM of transmission lines and 619 EHV Substations with 107369 MVA transformation capacity. This infrastructure constitutes most of the inter regional as well as intra-regional electric power transmission system in the State. Today, MSETCL is the largest state transmission utility in the country.
ISRO's BHUVAN platform was chosen to map MSETCL's huge network on the Web-GIS system. The uniqueness of this project is evident in the mapping of transmission lines. Generally the lines are treated just as interconnecting elements for substations; but in MSETCL system, they are mapped in such a way that the lines can be explored circuit-wise (only conductors), with towers and with complete closed network.
