New 33kV Power Substation Set to Revolutionize Electricity Supply in Greater Noida Villages
Construction has commenced on a significant 33kV power substation in Dadri's Duriyai Kacheda area, a development poised to dramatically enhance electricity supply across more than a dozen villages in the Greater Noida region. The ambitious Rs 35-crore project, which began on January 21, represents a major infrastructure investment aimed at addressing long-standing power issues in these rural communities.
Strategic Location and Comprehensive Scope
The substation is strategically positioned to serve villages including Girdharpur, Hathipur, Kheda, and Bisnuli, among others. These villages are located near crucial transit points such as the Dankaur railway station, making them vital components of the rapidly expanding Noida-Greater Noida corridor within the National Capital Region (NCR). The project encompasses not only the construction of the substation itself but also involves comprehensive land acquisition and extensive infrastructure development to ensure sustainable power distribution.
Official Assurance of Enhanced Power Quality
Sanjay Kumar Jain, Chief Engineer of the Noida Power Department under PVVNL (Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited), has emphasized the transformative impact of this initiative. He stated that the commissioning of this substation will guarantee better, more regular, and higher-quality electricity supply to rural areas. This improvement is expected to yield substantial benefits across multiple sectors, significantly boosting agricultural productivity, supporting industrial growth, and enhancing the quality of life for domestic consumers who have endured unreliable power for years.
Collaborative Efforts Behind the Project
The successful launch of this critical infrastructure project owes much to the concerted efforts of key local leaders and officials. Notable figures such as GB Nagar MP Dr. Mahesh Sharma, Dadri MLA Tejpal Singh Nagar, and Sanjay Sharma, Chairman of the Chhapraula Cooperative Society, played instrumental roles in securing necessary approvals and facilitating the construction process. Their collaboration with officials and employees of the electricity department has been crucial in moving this project from conception to reality.
Resident Expectations and Regional Development
Local residents have warmly welcomed this development, viewing the establishment of the power substation as a positive stride toward regional progress and a solution to their persistent electricity supply challenges. Brijpal Bhati, a resident of village Kacheda, expressed the community's hopes, saying, "Once the substation becomes operational, we anticipate significant improvements in power supply to our villages. We look forward to an end to the prolonged outages that often last four to six hours, especially during the summer months."
This project is not merely about installing electrical infrastructure; it symbolizes a broader commitment to uplifting rural areas within the NCR by addressing fundamental utility needs. As Greater Noida continues to evolve as a key economic and residential hub, such initiatives are essential for ensuring balanced development and improving the living standards of all residents, both urban and rural.
