The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) and the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam have an ambitious plan worth Rs 280 crore to strengthen the power transmission and distribution system in Hisar district wherein nine substations will be set up and the capacity of five others will be augmented. The plan includes construction of a 220-KV substation at Masudpur village, a 132-KV substation at Barsi village and 33-KV substations at Mirchpur, Bithmara, Chaudharywas, Kheri Lohachab, Jamalpur, Masudpur and Sector 14 of Hisar district. The capacity of the 132-KV substation at Polysteel Hisar and 33-KV substations at Barwala, Mundhal, Koth and Shyahrwa is being augmented. The construction of the substation at Masudpur is nearing completion and is likely to be commissioned soon. A spokesman has said this plan includes setting up 2,000 new distribution transformers and replacing 200 old transformers with new ones with higher capacity. The government will add 955 km of power distribution lines to the network. Fifteen overloaded and lengthier 11-KV feeders will be divided into feeders with proper load and length while old and worn out conductors of some feeders will be replaced with new conductors with higher capacity. A programme for maintenance and renovation of the distribution system is in progress to avoid power complaints. Singhran, Chirod and Chulli Bagrian are the first three villages in Haryana to get round-the-clock power supply. The agricultural and domestic load in rural area has been segregated to give reliable and qualitative power supply to agricultural tube wells and three-phase supply to domestic consumers with additional 11-KV feeders. The government spent Rs 350 crore in the last eight years to strengthen the power transmission and distribution system in the district. It constructed 16 substations, augmented the capacity of 20 others, set up 11,000 transformers, augmented the capacity of 787 old ones and laid 2,975 km of distribution lines.
