Not just a source of life, a source of power

Our journey began in 1915 when we set up our first hydro power plant. Over a century later, the currents we started have surged and are powering the nation

Riding the waves of progress

Since setting up our first hydropower plant, our story has evolved into one of growth, efficiency, and innovation

Built to last

Our robust plants are built to withstand the test of time, demanding minimal maintenance over decades. Their reliance on the ever-present water cycle ensures a consistent and reliable flow of clean energy

Grid balancers

Our hydro plants play a critical role in stabilizing and supporting modern electricity. Their flexibility and rapid response time ensure a reliable and continuous flow of electricity for homes and businesses

Time-tested technology

The technology at our hydro plants continues to evolve. As new turbine designs push the boundaries of efficiency, environmental concerns are addressed with innovative technologies. Sustainable practices are continuously refined, minimizing hydropower's impact on the environment

Sustainable development

Our hydro plants are multi-faceted tools for sustainable development and community well-being. They support entire ecosystems with water supply, food security, agricultural productivity, flood control, and environmental protection

Clean energy champions

Our hydro plants require minimal O&M expenses and "must run" status, making them a strategic and cost-effective addition to any energy mix. It offers reliable, low-cost, and clean power generation, vital for the successful integration of renewable energy sources

Efficiency and responsibility

A continuous flow of water in the Konkan region is ensured throughout the year, as the westward-flowing rivers receive consistent water release after power generation

Turning the tide for tomorrow

Realizing the untapped potential of water as a clean energy source, to transform rivers and streams into sustainable power generators with minimal disruption to ecosytems

Delivering a steady flow of power

Pioneering the concept of affordable, clean, and pollution-free energy, our hydro stations form the backbone of power supply to several industrial areas

Sustainable is attainable

Do you know? The blue-finned Mahseer fish, once declared endangered, has been moved to low concern by IUCN thanks to the Mahseer Conservation Drive, led by us at Lonavala, Pune, for more than 50 years

Innovating for the future

While hydropower efficiently harnesses nature’s resources, we are pushing the boundaries with top-tier innovations to enhance overall efficiency and drive a cleaner, more sustainable future

Pumped storage facilities

Our smart storage techniques are eco-friendly, flexible, and offer great economic value. The process involves using surplus energy to pump water into a higher reservoir, which then flows back into the lower section, generating electricity by moving turbines during periods of high demand

Floating solar

Our hydro projects use four major dams, which have a combined floating solar potential of 750 MW. These floating solar projects help reduce water evaporation and increase the efficiency of solar panels due to the cooling effect of the water

Dyke wall construction

These constructions ensure durability and effective flood control, protecting surrounding areas from water-related damage. Our project in Mulshi has witnessed an increase in water levels by 1 meter, increasing its storage capacity by 48 million m3 to generate an additional 283.29 MUs of power

Risk management

We are continuously integrating advanced technologies to protect our personnel and equipment. Some of these initiatives include the implementation of self-operated emergency personal rescue devices and the use of plug-and-play fire detection systems

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)

Used to access and inspect underwater environments safely, our initiative at the Bhira plant helped us evaluate the conditions of water-filled tunnels, saving 172 days of outage with an incentive of ₹10 Cr

Digital innovations

From real-time data visualization and streamlined resource management to enhanced system monitoring with Power BI Dashboards, Control System Monitoring (CSM), and more, our advancements are improving efficiency, safety, and saving costs

Empowering communities

The Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) promotes entrepreneurship among women

Nursing School at Male: Every year 25 girls in the catchment area are trained free of charge

ITI at Male: Industrial training for children in the catchment area at a very nominal course fee
