Narmada Nagar (Madhya Pradesh): This month marked a significant milestone in the glorious 25-year journey of Narmada Hydroelectric Development Corporation (NHDC) Limited. The Indira Sagar Power Station (1000 MW) has set a new record for maximum hydropower generation of 26.503 million units in a day, a remarkable achievement in the company's history.
The Indira Sagar Power Station and Omkareshwar Power Station have jointly generated 3000 million units of hydroelectricity during the financial year 2024-25. The generation of hydropower at Indira Sagar Power Station has been operating since the financial year 2004-5, making this achievement even more commendable after nearly 20 years of successful commissioning.
Better maintenance of machines and sensitivity to every factor of operation taken care of by the project management have been instrumental in achieving this milestone.
