A proposal for the construction of a 400 KV grid substation in the Kumarbagh industrial area (Special Economic Zone) under the Motihari Electrical Circle in West Champaran has been prepared and sent to the headquarters. This marks a significant step towards improving the power supply system in West Champaran. Work on the grid substation will commence once approval is received.

According to the proposal, the grid substation will be built on approximately 30 acres of land. If this project materializes, the 220 KV power grid located in Ramgarhwa, East Champaran, will also receive electricity from this new facility. This will enhance power transmission capacity in both districts and help meet the growing demand for electricity in the future.

It is reported that the construction process will begin only after the headquarters approves the proposal. If all approvals and technical procedures proceed smoothly, the construction of the grid substation could take approximately three years. The department has also sent a land-related proposal to the headquarters. Ankit Kumar, Assistant Executive Engineer of Bettiah Grid, stated that this grid substation will ensure electricity availability not only for East and West Champaran but also for Gopalganj.

This grid substation will be interconnected with the Muzaffarpur-Gorakhpur transmission line, eliminating the need for separate circuit construction. It will be the third significant grid substation of its kind in the state, following those in Bakhtiyarpur, Patna, and the one under construction in Chhapra. Departmental officials are optimistic about the project's approval.
