OVERVIEW

Koppal Narendra Transmission Limited (KNTL) is a Build-Own-Operate-Maintain (BOOM) Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) located in Karnataka. Operational since October 2023, KNTL comprises approximately 276 circuit kilometers of transmission lines and ~2,500 MVA of transformation capacity.

The asset was jointly owned by ReNew Transmission Ventures Private Limited (RTVPL) (51%) and KNI India (49%), a joint venture between Norfund and KLP.

IndiGrid acquired KNTL in June 2025. With its location in a region witnessing rapid grid expansion, KNTL offers meaningful long-term augmentation potential for IndiGrid.
