ii) TSG Training Center NTDCL New Kot Lakhpat, Lahore

TSG Training Center NTDC New Kot Lakhpat, Lahore is located adjacent to the
220kV grid station NTDCL New Kot Lakhpat, Feroze Pur Road Lahore. This
training center has been designed to conduct on job trainings (OJT) in grid
maintenance and P&I disciplines after completion of the theoretical trainings at
GSO center Tarbela. Transmission line and P&I promotion criteria trainings are
also imparted here. For boarding and lodging of the trainees, a hostel along with
messing facility is available within the same compound.
