01 Apr 2012 CW Staff

Reinforcing its position again, Tata Power recently became the country鈥檚 largest private sector power generating firm. The company, under the leadership of Anil Sardana, Managing Director, synchronised the second unit of its Maithon power project in Jharkhand barely ten days after commissioning the first unit of India鈥檚 first UMPP in Mundra. With this 525 MW unit, Tata Power has achieved a total power generation capacity of 5,297 MW. 鈥淭he synchronisation of Maithon unit-II today is a significant milestone. This development reaffirmed Tata Power's contribution as the largest integrated power company in India,鈥� says Sardana. The Maithon project's first unit was commissioned in September 2011. The project is a 74:26 joint venture between Tata Power and Damodar Valley Corporation. With Mundra and Maithon now, Tata Power has a gross thermal power generating capacity of 4,447 MW.
