PATNA, 9 April, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, in the Purnea district, the North Bihar Power Distribution Corporation Ltd (NBPDCL) in association with the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) inaugurated a 2x10 MVA GIS sub-station.

S.S. Rao, senior General Manager of PFC said, "2x10 MVA GIS sub-station for Purnea was sanctioned in 2018 under the IPDS scheme at the cost of Rs 8.99 crore. The sub-station was declared complete on April 6, overcoming the challenges posed by the prevailing Covid-19 situation."

The substation will benefit approximately 3.26 lakh people of Purnea and the surrounding areas, reducing the land requirement, lowering the operational and maintaining cost and providing safe working environment for the attending personnel.
