116 km long 400kV double circuit Solapur – Karad transmission line is the first line under the Western Regional System Strengthening Scheme (WRSSS) project having an outlay of about Rs. 1,400 crore and a total length of 1,500 km. RInfra’s wholly owned subsidiary company, Reliance Power Transmission Ltd. (RPTL) was awarded the project through tariff based competitive bidding process.

as the Gas for this project was not tied up. The matter remained under in the Bombay high court. On June 15, 2009 the Mumbai High court ruled the case in favour of the Reliance Natural Gas Limited asking the Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Industries to stick to its commitment of providing the gas to RNRL at a stipulated amount being agreed upon prior to the split between the brothers.
A revised gas supply agreement finally has been signed by the two Ambani brothers on Friday, June 25. 2010. The agreement between Mukesh Ambani-run Reliance Industries and his younger brother Anil—led RNRL paves the way for government to allocate gas to Anil Ambani group’s power plants.
The Supreme Court had asked the two groups to renegotiate the agreement based on its earlier ruling that government is the owner of the gas and hence, has the last word on its pricing and utilization.
Anil Ambani group, armed with the new agreement, would now approach to the government seeking allocation of gas to its power plants, including its upcoming projects in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh.
After the announcement in a subdued market, shares in Reliance Natural extended gains to more than 6 per cent.
