First I'll qualify my answer by stating that I am not familar with the distribution voltages in India. My answers are from a US perspective.
10,000 kW is not THAT big a load. In an urban setting, this is less than two 12 kV feeders worth of load. If the nearby substation had capacity, they would likely provide an express feeder or two.
If there was not a nearby substation with sufficient capacity, a subtransmission voltage might be used. In the US this could be 25 to 35 kV to a small substation on the customer's property.
Supplying this load from a 100+ kV circuit is very expensive, not to mention the difficulties in obtaining transmission line right-of-way for the circuit(s).
Keep in mind that while you think your load is going to be 10,000 kW, it is more common for the actual loads to come in at less than 1/2 of what the customer originally predicted.
Ultimately the State Electricity Board will define their method of service. In general this decision will be influenced by the capacity of nearby circuits. You can never engage the local electric company too soon.

There is no way to tell, a priori. In order to handle the current, it will probably be 100 kV or more. Discuss the matter with the vendor; this is a big deal.

Well it all depends what the distribution is.......Most likeley 110 Kv or 220 Kv .......
