State-run power major NTPC said commercial operations of the 500-MW thermal power project at Jhajjar, which would supply power to Haryana and Delhi, began today.
The 500-MW unit is part of the 1,500-MW capacity Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Project coming up at Jhajjar in Haryana.
It is being set up by Aravali Power Company Pvt Ltd, a joint venture between NTPC, Indraprastha Power Generation Company Ltd and Haryana Power Generation Company Ltd.
“Power from the Jhajjar project will be supplied in equal measure to Haryana and Delhi. Situated at Village Jharli in Jhajjar district of Haryana, it was one of the projects targeted to power the Commonwealth Games,” a statement said.
At present, the work is progressing at the two other 500-MW units.
NTPC has an installed capacity of over 33,000 MW and operates 28 power stations. The company has projects totalling 16,000 MW under construction and aims to enhance the total capacity to 75,000 MW by 2017.
