India / Zambia: Bajel Projects Limited, a Bajaj Group company in the business of power transmission and distribution solutions, has successfully completed and commissioned the 132 kV Single Circuit Coventry – Waterworks, Coventry – Jimmy – Chawama Transmission Line Project for ZESCO, in Lusaka, Zambia. This milestone underscores Bajel’s ability to deliver complex international EPC projects with precision, technical expertise, and a strong commitment to safety.
The project included three essential transmission links: Coventry – Waterworks (3.5 km), Jimmy – Chawama (7.5 km), and Coventry – Jimmy (2.5 km). This new infrastructure is set to significantly improve grid stability, cut transmission losses, and support the growing electricity demand in Lusaka, contributing to Zambia’s long-term energy resilience.
