Maithon Power generation increased by almost 7 per cent in FY16 as compared to FY15

Maithon Power Limited (MPL) is the first successful public-private partnership (PPP) in green field generation project in the country. The plant has implemented 2 x 525 MW coal-fired power project power in Jharkhand, which had languished for more than a decade. The power project benefits close to 16 million domestic consumers apart from supplying cost competitive power to industry and agriculture.

Commenting on this development, Ashok Sethi, COO & ED, Tata Power, stated, “This development has reaffirmed our position as largest integrated power company in the country. Tata Power will ensure that it continues to add to the generation capacity of the power sector of India and prove to be a national asset to the country. We are extremely proud of this development & hope to achieve many more milestones.”

K.Chandrashekhar, Chief Executive Officer & ED- Maithon Power Ltd, said, “It is a significant achievement for us and has given much needed impetus to surge ahead and look for capacity addition by another 1320 MW at the same plant. MPL will continue to be a competitive source of power and help meet states growing demand for electricity”.
