Lighting up Lives!

Recognised as India’s largest private sector power utility, with a reputation for trustworthiness, built
up over nearly nine decades, Tata Power surges ahead into yet another year with plans of sustained
growth, greater value to consumer and reliable power supply.

Led by a powerful vision, Tata Power pioneered the generation of electricity in India. It has now
successfully served the Mumbai consumers for over ninety years and has spread its footprints across
the nation. Today, it is the country’s largest private player in the sector. Apart from Mumbai and
Delhi, the company has generation capacities in Jojobera, Jharkhand and Karnataka.

Tata Power has an installed power generation capacity of about 3000 Mega Watts, with the Mumbai
power business, which has a unique mix of Thermal and Hydro Power, generated at the Thermal
Power Station, Trombay, and the Hydro Electric Power Stations at Bhira, Bhivpuri and Khopoli,
accounting for 1797 MW. Its diverse generation capability facilitates the company in producing low
cost energy, thereby giving its consumers a greater value for money.

Among its many achievements that Tata Power can proudly boast of are the installation and
commissioning of India’s first 500 MW unit (at its Thermal Power Generating Station, Trombay) the
150 MW Pumped Storage Unit at its Hydro Generating Station, Bhira, and environmental control
systems like the Flue Gas Desulphurisation plant.

Tata Power has a first of its kind joint venture with Power Grid Corporation of India for the 1200 km
Tala Transmission Project.
