NTPC Group Powers Up: 250 MW Tehri PSP Unit Goes Live! 🚀

Hey, big news from the power sector! NTPC Limited, one of India’s energy giants, just announced a significant boost to its operational capacity. Its subsidiary, THDC India Limited, has successfully declared the Commercial Operation Date (COD) for Unit II (250 MW) of the Tehri Pumped Storage Plant (PSP).

This new 250 MW unit, part of the larger 4x250 MW Tehri PSP project, officially went live at 00:00 Hrs on July 10, 2025. For those unfamiliar, pumped storage plants like Tehri PSP are crucial for grid stability. They act like giant batteries, storing energy by pumping water uphill when electricity is cheap (or abundant from renewables) and releasing it to generate power when demand is high. Think of it as a massive, flexible energy reservoir! 💡

With this latest addition, THDC India Limited’s total installed and commercial capacity now stands at 2,747 MW. But the ripple effect is even bigger for the parent company: the entire NTPC Group’s total installed and commercial capacity has now surged to an impressive 82,836 MW! That’s a substantial leap forward in India’s energy infrastructure.

This expansion underscores NTPC’s ongoing commitment to strengthening India’s power grid and integrating more reliable energy sources. As of its last traded price, NTPC shares were at ₹342.95, showing a slight dip of 1.6% before the market closed. However, long-term capacity additions like this are what truly power a company’s future growth and India’s energy security. Keep an eye on how this new capacity contributes to their performance! ⚡
