JUSNL Schedule of Rates
About Jharkhand Urja Sancharan Nigam Limited
JUSNL operates Jharkhand's high-voltage transmission backbone — 220kV and 132kV substations and lines connecting state load centres (Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh) to the central transmission grid (PowerGrid Eastern Region). The 2017-18 SOR covers transmission civil scope: tower foundations (single-circuit, double-circuit, multi-circuit), substation civil (control rooms, switchyard pavement, transformer foundations, fire-protection systems), cable trenches, and switchyard equipment foundations. Newer editions may exist internally but no public version is hosted; engineers preparing JUSNL tender bids reference this 2017-18 SOR plus subsequent gazette amendments embedded in tender BoQs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 2017-18 edition the latest?
JUSNL has not publicly hosted a newer SOR. State transmission utilities revise less frequently than discoms. Mid-cycle adjustments come via departmental amendments embedded in tender BoQs rather than full SOR reissues.
How is JUSNL different from PowerGrid?
PowerGrid is the central (national) transmission body. JUSNL is the Jharkhand state transmission utility. Both operate transmission infrastructure but PowerGrid handles inter-state corridors; JUSNL handles intra-state Jharkhand transmission.
Does JUSNL handle 765kV?
765kV transmission (the highest voltage class in India) is typically PowerGrid scope. JUSNL operates 400/220/132 kV. State-PSU transmission rarely operates 765kV directly.
Are JUSNL tower foundation rates similar to PowerGrid?
Comparable in magnitude. PowerGrid's foundation rates set the industry baseline; state utilities typically operate within ±10-15% of PowerGrid benchmarks reflecting local soil, labour, and material lead conditions.
Where do I find current JUSNL tenders?
jusnl.in publishes active tenders. Major recent activity around eastern Jharkhand 220/132 kV substation upgrades and Ranchi-Bokaro corridor strengthening.
