In 2025, the Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) in India is seeing significant development, particularly for the evacuation of renewable energy. AM Green India Pvt Ltd is involved in projects that leverage this infrastructure, including integrating with energy storage to provide firm and dispatchable green energy to their facilities.

 In 2025, the Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) in India is seeing significant development, particularly for the evacuation of renewable energy. AM Green India Pvt Ltd is involved in projects that leverage this infrastructure, including integrating with energy storage to provide firm and dispatchable green energy to their facilities.

Here's a breakdown of the current stage of ISTS and AM Green India's involvement:

General ISTS Development:

Large-scale expansion:

India has planned a 340 GW ISTS network to evacuate 230 GW of solar and wind power connected to ISTS.

Significant progress:

48 GW of this network has been completed, with 159 GW under construction and 21 GW under bidding, according to The Economic Times.

New schemes:

The government is approving new ISTS schemes to evacuate renewable energy from states like Rajasthan and Karnataka, using Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB).

Green Energy Corridors:

The Green Energy Corridor (GEC) projects are under implementation in various states to strengthen the intra-state transmission system for renewable energy integration.

ISTS Charges:

Waivers and concessional charges for ISTS are being offered to promote renewable energy projects, including offshore wind and green hydrogen/ammonia.

AM Green India's Role:

Integration with Renewable Energy:

AM Green India is actively involved in projects that connect to the ISTS network to deliver green energy to their facilities.

One-of-a-kind project:

They are working on a project that integrates solar and wind projects, with energy storage, to provide firm and dispatchable green energy.

Collaboration with CIL:

AM Green India is collaborating with CIL on a renewable energy partnership for green ammonia production.

Focus on Green Hydrogen:

The company is focused on green hydrogen production, which relies on renewable energy sources and requires significant transmission infrastructure.

Transmission upgrades:

AM Green is working on transmission infrastructure upgrades to support their green ammonia production.

Challenges and Future:

Grid Stability:

Ensuring grid stability is crucial with the increasing integration of renewable energy, and ISTS plays a vital role.

Regulatory Clarity:

Regulatory frameworks, including ISTS charge waivers and connectivity regulations, are essential for smooth project development.

Great Indian Bustard (GIB) case:

Some projects are facing delays due to the GIB case and the need for approvals under Section 68 of the Electricity Act for transmission lines.

In summary, the ISTS is undergoing significant expansion in India to support the growing renewable energy sector. AM Green India is actively participating in this development, focusing on integrating renewable energy sources and developing green hydrogen production, which requires robust transmission infrastructure.
