Hitachi Energy India secures a Rs 790 crore order from Hitachi Energy Australia to supply HVDC Light based on VSC technology for the Marinus Link project, boosting India’s export connectivity.
On June 25, Hitachi Energy India Limited announced it received an order worth Rs 790 crore from its fellow subsidiary, Hitachi Energy Australia Pty Ltd. The order is scheduled to be executed over four years, and the project cost is set at Rs 790 crore.
