Agreements covering approximately 25,000 km of transmission lines highlight the opportunity for technology-led grid delivery

NOIDA, India, November 9th, 2026 — Infravision, the company transforming how critical power infrastructure is built, today announced its expansion in India as part of its ongoing global growth. The company is deploying its integrated drone-enabled stringing system to help developers and grid owners deliver high-voltage transmission projects faster and with fewer labor-days, rapidly expanding and modernizing the country’s electric grid.

Infravision has secured agreements with major Indian developers that provide a right of first refusal to deliver mechanized stringing across approximately 25,000 kilometers of transmission lines in India.

India is setting the global benchmark for speed and scale of grid development. India’s National Electricity Plan (Transmission), launched in 2024, calls for more than 191,000 circuit-kilometers of transmission lines at 220 kV and above to be added between 2022–23 and 2031–32, supporting a system designed to accommodate more than 600 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2032. Delivering that buildout requires construction methods that can keep pace with the country’s ambitions. By combining India's competitive infrastructure market with Infravision's next-generation construction technology, the partnership is demonstrating how countries can leapfrog traditional construction methods to build the grids of the future faster, safer, and more efficiently.

“India is showing what becomes possible when ambitious grid investment meets a willingness to adopt new technology,” said Cameron Van Der Berg, founder and CEO of Infravision. “We help customers turn that ambition into completed transmission lines. India demonstrates how automation can expand construction capacity at scale, with lessons for grid builders around the world.”

Infravision’s integrated system combines advanced drone technology, intelligent ground equipment, specialized stringing hardware, software, and experienced field crews to make transmission construction faster, safer, and more affordable.

Infravision is bringing a step change in construction productivity to India's transmission sector, combining advanced drone-enabled stringing technology with best-in-class mechanized equipment and construction methodologies. This integrated approach has the potential to reduce stringing labor requirements by approximately 50%, minimize community and environmental impacts, accelerate project delivery, and significantly lower construction costs compared with conventional Indian stringing methods, helping the industry deliver India's ambitious transmission infrastructure pipeline at scale.

Infravision's technology-enabled construction methodologies also simplify delivery across challenging terrain and complex crossings. By minimizing ground access requirements, reducing work at height, and enabling more efficient crossings of existing live transmission lines, roads, and other critical infrastructure, Infravision can improve safety, reduce construction costs, and minimize disruption to surrounding communities and infrastructure.

“For our customers, the value is in how much work a crew can complete and how reliably we can deliver against the project schedule,” said Pradeep Kumar, CEO of Infravision India. “Over more than 20 years, my work has taken me from submarine engineering in the Indian Navy, including India’s first indigenous nuclear submarine project, to leading large-scale transmission construction. That experience taught me how much performance depends on well-designed systems, rigorous preparation, and people who know how to work together. India’s grid ambitions demand that we bring that same discipline to transmission construction at scale.”

Headquartered in Noida, Infravision's India operations are supported by a dedicated local leadership team, experienced engineering and field delivery personnel, and specialized drone-enabled and mechanized stringing capabilities to deliver complex high-voltage transmission projects across the country. Working closely with Infravision's global engineering, technology, and operations teams, the India business combines international innovation with deep local industry expertise to continuously improve equipment, construction methodologies, and field productivity.

To support its long-term growth, Infravision is also establishing a dedicated training facility in India to develop the next generation of skilled transmission construction professionals. Rather than simply drawing from India's already constrained skilled workforce, the initiative aims to expand the local talent pool by equipping workers with advanced technical skills, international best practices and hands-on experience with modern construction technologies. This investment will support the development of a sustainable, highly skilled domestic workforce capable of delivering India's ambitious transmission infrastructure pipeline at scale.
