Siemens has bagged a contract from Power Grid Corporation to modernise the country's first and oldest 500-mw high voltage direct current (HVDC) link in Madhya Pradesh.

The HVDC back-to-back system was put into operation in 1989 to interconnect the asynchronous 400 kV alternating current networks of the Northern and Western regions.
