One of the heaviest flying birds in the world, the Great Indian Bustard is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Due to habitat loss, hunting, and other human activities, the species is seriously in danger of extinction. The Great Indian Bustard Area will no longer have any electric lines above 33 kV; instead, those above 33 kV will be overhead lines with bird flight diverts, according to the Draft Central Electricity Authority (Construction of Electric Lines in Great Indian Bustard Area) Regulations, 2023.
