MUMBAI (Yosefardi) – Avantha Group Company CG has bagged an order from PT PLN for setting up a total of 36 transformer bays around Indonesia, valued at around USD 20 million.
These 36 extension bays will comprise 2 lots – the Java and Bali island extension bays representing Lot 1 and Sumatra, Kalimantan and the Sulawesi islands representing Lot 2.
This project is being funded by IBRD – World Bank and is aimed at enhancing the performance of PT PLN’s Transmission Grid.

In the past, CG entered into a joint venture with PT PLN to manufacture high-voltage switchgear products of up to the 500 kV class, locally in Indonesia.
