What are the company’s upcoming projects and when do you plan to commission these?

Currently, we are operating 28 power stations with a total installed capacity of 7.2 GW. Additionally, 15 projects with a combined capacity of 10,604 MW are under various stages of construction. Out of these, we aim to commission the 800 MW Parbati-II HE Project by March 2025 and three units of 250 MW each of the 2000 MW Subansiri Lower HE Project by May 2025. Upon completion, these projects will collectively contribute an additional 6,500 million units in electricity generation in the next financial year.

The commissioning of the Parbati-II HE project will not only increase our installed capacity by 800 MW but will also enhance generation from the Parbati-III Power Station. This is because water from Parbati-II will move to the Parbati-III reservoir, which will increase generation by more than 1,200 million units annually.
