Jyoti Structures Limited (JSL), a listed global EPC company, along with Hayleys Fentons Limited, Sri Lanka’s leading MEP and Solar EPC contractor, has signed a joint venture contract for the construction of the Mannar–Mullikulam 220kV Double Circuit Transmission Line in Sri Lanka.
The project marks a significant addition to JSL’s international transmission portfolio and reinforces the company’s continued focus on enabling reliable, future-ready power infrastructure across the region. The contract has been awarded by the newly established National Transmission Network Service Provider (Private) Limited (NTNSP) under the Mullikulam Wind Power Transmission Project. The mandate involves the development of critical transmission infrastructure required to evacuate power generated by the Mullikulam Wind Power Projects to Sri Lanka’s national grid.
Amit Dutta, Chief Operating Officer of Jyoti Structures Limited, said: “Jyoti Structures is proud to partner with Hayleys Fentons on this landmark cross-border project. With our extensive expertise in high-voltage transmission infrastructure across India and beyond, we look forward to delivering a resilient transmission network that will support Sri Lanka’s renewable energy ambitions and set a strong benchmark for transmission excellence in the region.’’
Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons Limited, stated: “This signing is a declaration of confidence in Sri Lanka’s energy future. The Mannar–Mullikulam 220kV transmission line is the artery through which the wind energy potential of the North will flow into our national grid. As we advance our own 50MW wind project in Mannar in parallel, we are proud to be contributing to Sri Lanka’s clean energy transition on multiple fronts, and this milestone brings that vision meaningfully closer to reality.”
Roshane Perera, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Hayleys Solar, stated: “This marks the beginning of a new era for Hayleys Fentons as we expand into the infrastructure sector. The project presents a significant opportunity for the company to unlock new growth potential while creating valuable exposure for our engineering team in power transmission and distribution projects. It will enable our engineers to build specialised expertise in this domain and position the company to successfully undertake similar large-scale infrastructure projects in the future.”
The project reflects the growing momentum in regional energy infrastructure collaboration and strengthens JSL’s presence in transmission markets beyond India.
