Corruption in insulators procurement
Powergrid corporation has started procurement of chinese insulators made of polymer as India has limited manufacturers of such insulators.However, porcelain insulators have time tested product for transmission lines and replacement comes after 20-30 yrs.However, the life of polymer is less and kick back is high from china.Also, powergrid being the largest transmission player, is utilising the opportunity to mint money for certain high level officials.Due to this the insulator plant of BHEL at bangalore and jagdishpur is made to bleed.
