The Sunday Guardian
|September 22, 2024
The Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), a premier laboratory under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), transferred critical high-altitude sustenance technologies to the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL).

According to the Ministry of Defence, this transfer took place during an orientation workshop held at PGCIL's regional headquarters in Jammu, in preparation for the 5000 MW Pang-Kaithal High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Project in Ladakh.
The Pang-Kaithal HVDC Project, located at an elevation of 15,760 feet, is a crucial step in securing energy supplies for Ladakh while integrating solar power from the region into India's national grid.
Given the extreme conditions of high-altitude operations, the technologies handed over by DIPAS will play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being and sustenance of PGCIL's workforce during the project's execution.
