An eastern Koshi-corridor buildout piece anchored on the Dhungesanghu and Basantapur substations. In the annual book it appears as part of the broader 220 kV Koshi corridor work needed to collect and move eastern hill generation.
Summary
The Dhungesanghu-Basantapur 220/132 kV corridor is an eastern Koshi-corridor grid buildout asset. The page records substation capacities and annual-book evidence for the Dhungesanghu and Basantapur works within the broader Koshi Corridor programme.
Key Facts
| Substation | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Dhungesanghu | 30 MVA |
| Basantapur | 230 MVA |
Why It Matters
- The corridor is one of the enabling eastern-grid assets that sit behind Arun 3-adjacent evacuation logic, even if it is not the final cross-border line itself.
- It is also part of the wider “collect before export” architecture summarized later in Nepal Transmission System — 400 kV Landscape & Cross-Border Plan (2025) and structurally linked to Inaruwa–Purnea 400 kV Cross-Border Interconnection.
Limitations & Controversies
The page is strongest on annual-book evidence for substation works and corridor context. It does not yet provide a complete line alignment, final commissioning history, current loading, or a separate verification of how each asset now operates within the Koshi Corridor.
