Under the contract, ABB will be responsible for the designing, engineering and supply of 400kV and 220kV GIS, modules.
The switchgear will be used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment to boost the reliability of the electrical supply while the GIS technology is designed to protect contacts and conductors with insulating gas.
ABB Power Products division president Bernhard Jucker said: "This is yet another example of how ABB’s state-of-the-art technologies are supporting India in its efforts to strengthen its power infrastructure.
"Our long-standing presence, strong track record and significant manufacturing base in India enables us to be close to our customers and deliver reliable solutions in an efficient manner."
ABB will supply two 400kV auto transformers, which are normally deployed to interconnect systems operating at different voltage levels in power applications.
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2016.
The company’s ABB’s transformer portfolio comprise power transformers rated up to 1,200kV, dry- and liquid-distribution transformers, traction and special application transformers as well as related services and components.
