Hello LandMark

What is the cost of electric service installation or upgrades?

Basic Service Connection

This includes applying for a new industrial electricity connection and installing necessary components like transformers, poles, and wiring.

  • Standard cost ranges from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh for loads up to 100 kW
  • Covers connection fees, cabling, service box, and meter installation
  • Cost depends on distance from the nearest substation and load capacity

Transformer and Load-Based Upgrades

Larger power requirements often need dedicated transformers and higher-capacity infrastructure to handle machinery and industrial operations.

  • Installation of a dedicated 100 kVA to 250 kVA transformer: ₹6 lakh to ₹12 lakh
  • Load enhancement charges from the utility provider apply if upgrading capacity
  • High-voltage connections (above 250 kW) may require additional safety clearances

Site-Specific Factors

Costs can vary based on terrain, utility company policies, and whether overhead or underground cabling is used.

  • Underground cabling adds ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 per meter
  • Overhead lines are more affordable but require easement clearance
  • Remote sites may need pole extensions or mini-substation installations
