"Apart from ADB, TRANSCO is also in touch with other financial institutions for a loan of Rs 10 billion," he said.

TRANSCO, Verma said, has within four years of its inception implemented the first action plan worth Rs 10 billion ahead of schedule, thus strengthening the transmission system in the state.

Significant increase has also been noticed in the capacity of power transmission due to low transmission loss, he added.
