"Alstom T&D India, with its advanced high voltage products and solutions, plays a significant role in building and strengthening the state’s transmission network.
"These contracts reinforce our longstanding association with MSETCL and we aim to support their aim to provide electricity in a secure, reliable and efficient manner."
