A Government committee has directed transmission utilities, including those owned by the Adani Group and State-owned NTPC, to carry out proper maintenance as 75 extra high voltage (EHV) transmission line towers failed between the January-June period of 2025. A total of 75 EHV transmission line towers in 22 transmission lines failed between January and June 2025 or H1, owing to a number of reasons that need to be checked and timely reported by the utilities. As per the report, the main cause of tower failures is attributed to high-intensity wind as reported by the transmission utilities. However, the utilities failed to produce wind data in many cases of EHV transmission line tower failures, which could substantiate their reasoning. It said transmission utilities need to take proactive measures like increased line patrolling and immediate replacement of missing members/bolts.
