Power Minister Vijay has urged the Tamil Nadu government to approve the construction of 600 new electricity substations to strengthen the state’s power grid.
Power Minister Vijay announced a proposal to add six hundred new substations across Tamil Nadu, aiming to expand the state’s transmission capacity.

The move reflects a broader push to modernise Tamil Nadu’s power network and improve reliability for consumers and industries alike.
