V Kota (Chittoor district): Giving a significant boost to the power infrastructure of the region, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu virtually inaugurated a 132/33 kV power substation and associated transmission line works at V Kota of Palamaner constituency in Chittoor district on Thursday.
The project, valued at Rs 38 crore, is expected to greatly benefit the rural and agricultural sectors by enhancing electricity supply.
During the inauguration, Chittoor dDistrict Collector Sumit Kumar highlighted the importance of the project, describing it as a positive development for the area.

In his remarks, the Collector explained that the new substation, located in Thotakanuma village of V Kota mandal, would improve power distribution across V Kota and Baireddipalle in Palamaner constituency and Santhipuram in Kuppam constituency. This facility will benefit nearly 46,000 residents, with two transformers of 31.5 MVA capacity each installed to ensure a steady supply of electricity.
