Ministry of Power, Government of India has transferred 220 kV Srinagar-Drass-Kargil-Khaltsi-Leh Transmission System to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID). The project was executed by POWERGRID on consultancy basis under PMRP Scheme. Subsequent to reorganisation of the erstwhile State of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) into UTs of J&K and Ladakh, the 220 kV Srinagar-Leh Transmission System has been re-designated as Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) and transferred to POWERGRID from the date of formation of the two UTs of J&K and Ladakh.
