An agreement with HPCL for investment of Rs 10,000 crore will be signed shortly,” he added.
The launch of the new substations is a major step forward in the government’s efforts to improve power infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh. The new substations will help to ensure that all residents of the state have access to reliable and affordable electricity.
