Tata Power's Maithon power project commissions its second unit of 525 MW

Tata Power today said it has started generating electricity from the second 525-MW unit of Maithon power

project in Jharkhand.

With the commissioning of the second unit, the coal-fired 1,050 MW Maithon Mega Power Project, located in

Dhanbad, is fully operational.

The first unit of 525 MW was commissioned in September 2011.

Maithon Power, a 74:26 joint venture between Tata Power and Damodar Valley Corp, has implemented the project.

It is the "first successful public-private partnership in green-field generation project in the country," Tata

Power said in a statement.

The project has been completed despite huge challenges such as availability and transportation of coal, Maithon

Power Ltd CEO Bhaskar Sarkar said.

Apart from supplying to DVC, electricity generated from Maithon project would be provided to power deficit

northern states, the statement noted.

"We are happy to commission the second unit at Maithon power project. This project further reiterates

successful public private partnership in power generation in the country," Tata Power Managing Director Anil

Sardana said.

Currently, Tata Power has an installed generation capacity of 6,099 MW.
