This project strengthened the high voltage network through substation augmentation and new transmission lines. The substation component included extension of nine existing 132/66 kV substations in Kathmandu and development of two new 66 kV substations in Kathmandu, including one GIS substation and one outdoor substation. The scope also included extension of one 132 kV substation in Duhabi.

The transmission line works included 132 kV double circuit line length of 17.5 kilometres in Kathmandu and 132 kV 4 circuit line length of four kilometres. In the Duhabi region, the works included 27 kilometres of 132 kV second circuit line, 1.5 kilometres of 132 kV double circuit line, and 1.4 kilometres of 132 kV single circuit line. The implementation period covered December 1993 to May 1997 for substations, December 1993 to May 1998 for Kathmandu transmission lines, and December 1993 to January 1996 for the Duhabi transmission line package.
