Avantha Group Company CG has won a significant order of USD 35 million (INR 236 crore approx.) from PT PLN (Persero), the state-owned electricity company of Indonesia, to manufacture and install 28 power transformers ranging from 83.3 MVA to 167 MVA and rated voltage 500 kV/150 kV.

CG's power transformers will be installed across PT PLN's transmission network, spread over multiple substations and power plants in the Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan provinces of Indonesia. The delivery period is scheduled between May 2016 and March 2017.

The order falls under a project funded by PT PLN to enhance the performance of the Indonesian transmission grid. Power transformers are critically important for PT PLN considering the present power situation in Indonesia. Through the deployment of CG's power transformers, PT PLN will be able to lessen its dependence on the import of heavy equipment, while simultaneously executing a timely implementation of its transmission network strengthening programme.
