State-run SJVN Ltd’s flagship 1,500-MW Nathpa-Jhakri Hydro Power Station (NJHPS) has achieved a significant milestone in Design Energy generation. On December 1, the NJHPS achieved its design energy generation of 6,612 million units. This is the second fastest design energy generation since the fastest-ever design energy generation record set on November 19, 2011.

The milestone has been achieved in eight months of the current fiscal 2024-25. The power station is operated at 1,650-MW capacity as a result of 110 percent plant overloading for 116 days.

According to an SJVN spokesperson, the power station continued to operate without a single shutdown, even amid high silt levels in the Sutlej, demonstrating unparalleled efficiency and operational excellence.
