The mission of Tata Power’s hydro power plants is to deliver affordable, clean, green, and abundant power. The progress must serve people and the nation, while enabling urban growth and strengthening grid reliability.
Riding the waves of progress
Since setting up our first hydropower plant, our story has evolved into one of growth, efficiency, and innovation
Hydro power built to last
Tata Power’s hydro assets deliver reliable, long-term energy, built to perform under changing conditions. With steady output and rapid response, they support continuous generation, strengthening urban energy stability and easing grid stress during peak demand
Grid balancers to stabilize hydro power
Hydro power is vital for grid stability as variable renewables grow. Tata Power’s hydro plants provide fast, controllable generation that responds instantly to demand, manages peak loads, stabilizes frequency, and balances solar and wind. This on-demand flexibility makes hydro one of the most dependable resources for reliable power
Time-tested hydro power technology
Hydro power blends proven engineering with modern innovation. Tata Power’s hydro plants use advanced turbines and control systems to operate efficiently under varying conditions, while ongoing upgrades and sustainable practices improve performance, extend plant life, and reduce environmental impact. This ensures dependable power for evolving grid needs
Sustainable hydro energy for climate and nature
Sustainable hydro energy supports both climate action and ecosystem health, delivering low-emission power through the natural water cycle. Tata Power’s hydro projects integrate responsible water management, habitat protection, and environmental safeguards to reduce ecological impact. Beyond electricity, hydro infrastructure strengthens water security, flood control, and climate resilience, aligning energy generation with environmental and community priorities
Clean energy champions
Tata Power designs hydro plants for low O&M costs, making them a strategic and cost-effective part of the energy mix. Working in synergy with variable renewables, hydro balances supply fluctuations and strengthens system resilience. This enables clean energy to scale without compromising reliability and supporting India’s renewable transition
Efficient, responsible hydro power
As part of Tata Power’s long-term clean energy strategy, operational efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship are prioritized. Continuous water flow in the Konkan region is maintained year-round, with westward-flowing rivers receiving releases even after power generation

LEARN MOREInnovation in hydro power for a sustainable future
Hydro power continues to deliver efficient, clean energy, and Tata Power is advancing this foundation through innovation in hydro technologies. By improving plant efficiency, modernising equipment, and strengthening system controls, these innovations help increase output while reducing environmental impact.
This continued focus on innovation supports a cleaner energy future and strengthens hydro power’s role in a reliable, low-carbon electricity system.
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
Tata Vidyalaya Bhira (TVB) offers quality education to 320 children of employees and the community with 30 dedicated staff members
Establishing Dhaaga centers to support underprivileged women, train rural women, and implement educational schemes
Empowering youth, women, and others to generate their livelihood income generation via skill development
