Driven by Growth – Fuelled by Power
Recognised as India’s largest private sector power utility, with a reputation for trustworthiness, built up over nearly nine decades, Tata Power surges ahead into yet another year with plans of sustained growth, greater value to consumer and reliable power supply.
Led by a powerful vision, Tata Power pioneered the generation of electricity in India. It has now successfully served the Mumbai consumers for over ninety years and has spread its footprints across the nation. Today, it is the country’s largest private player in the sector. Apart from Mumbai and Delhi, the company has generation capacities in Jojobera, Jharkhand and Karnataka.
Tata Power has an installed power generation capacity of above 2300 Mega Watts, with the Mumbai power business, which has a unique mix of Thermal and Hydro Power, generated at the Thermal Power Station, Trombay, and the Hydro Electric Power Stations at Bhira, Bhivpuri and Khopoli, accounting for 1797 MW. Its diverse generation capability facilitates the company in producing low cost energy, thereby giving its consumers a greater value for money.
Among its many achievements that Tata Power can proudly boast of are the installation and commissioning of India’s first 500 MW unit (at its Thermal Power Generating Station, Trombay) the 150 MW Pumped Storage Unit at its Hydro Generating Station, Bhira, and environmental control systems like the Flue Gas Desulphurisation plant.
Tata Power has a first of its kind joint venture with Power Grid Corporation of India for the 1200 km Tala Transmission Project.
North Delhi Power Limited
A joint venture with the State Government of Delhi for its North Delhi consumers, the NDPL serves over 8 lakhs satisfied consumers with a peak load of 1050 MW, also providing state-of-the-art technology driven processes for enhancing consumer billing and related services.
Tata Power Trading Company Limited (TPTCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tata Power Company (TPC) has been awarded the first ever power trading license by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) under section 14 of the Electricity Act 2003, enabling it to carry out transactions all over India.
International Projects
Leveraging upon its engineering skills and understanding of the power business, Tata Power has carried out several overseas projects and successfully completed erection, testing and commissioning of major power projects in Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Kuwait, Algeria, Myanmar and Thailand. The company has also undertaken projects pertaining to power plant / operations management and plant operations training.
Strategic Electronics Division (SED)
The Strategic Electronics Division of Tata Power has been in operation for over 30 years and has been pursuing development and production activities for the Indian defence sector. SED successfully developed the Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher, ‘Pinaka’, proven in the field through extended user trials which led to its induction into the Indian Army. The Division has developed specialised equipment for Air Defence and Naval Combat systems.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Tata Power is committed to setting high standards in its pursuit of social responsibility and remaining sensitive to the issues of resource conservation, environment protection and enrichment and development of local communities in its areas of operations. The company has a simple philosophy that guides its activities in these matters, “Giving back is a means towards going ahead".
Our widespread programmes on biodiversity conservation, afforestation, pisciculture, family planning, health services, primary and secondary education and many more have made inroads into the tiny hamlets and tribal regions of our hydro catchment areas and it is our endeavour to light up these dark and narrow streets to new dawns.
