A key highlight of the celebration was the acknowledgment of the company’s expanding generation capabilities, which have now reached a total installed capacity of 3,907 MW. This impressive growth is anchored by major milestone projects, including the successful commissioning of the 1,000 MW Tehri Variable Speed Pumped Storage Plant and the 1,320 MW Khurja Super Thermal Power Project. The leadership highlighted these assets as foundational to THDCIL’s trajectory to become a dominant force in the pumped storage sector, which is increasingly critical for stabilizing India’s power grid and supporting its clean energy transition.

The event also served as an opportunity to honor individual and team excellence through various internal awards, such as the Innovation, Swift Decision-Making, and Gaurav Awards. Notably, the prestigious Naman Award was presented to J. Behera, the former Director of Finance, for his outstanding leadership in strengthening the company’s financial governance and institutional systems. As THDCIL enters its 40th year, the organization continues to diversify its portfolio across hydro, thermal, solar, and wind projects to align with national priorities for a secure, sustainable, and energy-independent future.

Upon its commissioning, the Etalin plant will become the largest hydroelectric project in India, playing a critical role in the nation’s clean energy transition, energy security, and sustainable development goals. NHPC CMD Shri Bhupender Gupta stated that the landmark project reflects a shared commitment to harnessing the state’s immense hydropower potential in a sustainable, environmentally responsible, and community-centric manner. The mega initiative is expected to drive extensive socio-economic growth in the region, bringing long-term livelihood and infrastructural development opportunities to local communities while strengthening clean energy infrastructure.
