History: Our Legacy

Guided by our Founder Mr. Jamshetji Tata’s vision that ‘clean, cheap & abundant power is one of the basic ingredients for the economic progress of a city, state or country’, Tata Power commissioned India’s first power plant- the hydro-electric station- in Khopoli (72 MW) in 1915, the second hydro station one in Bhivpuri (75 MW) in 1919 and the 3^rd one in Bhira (300 MW) in 1922. With these three hydro stations and the 1,350 MW thermal power station in Trombay, Mumbai; a 475 MW power station near Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and a 87 MW thermal power plant in Belgaum, Tata Power is the largest integrated private power company in India and is the most trustworthy power supplier to Mumbai.

The 4000 MW station will have five boilers each with a 800 MW unit size using supercritical technology that has a higher efficiency (43%) compared to that of a sub-critical boiler (37%).
