State-run power equipment maker BHEL has commissioned an 18-megawatt (MW) Mukerian hydroelectric project in Punjab.
“With the commissioning of the second 9-MW hydro generating unit, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has successfully commissioned the 18-MW Mukerian hydroelectric project (HEP) stage-II in Punjab,” the company said in a regulatory filing.
Located on the Mukerian canal in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab, the 18-MW Mukerian project is a surface powerhouse of Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd.
“The generation from Mukerian HEP stage-II will contribute significantly in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and will help in achieving a low carbon development path for the nation,” the company added.
The first unit of the Mukerian HEP was commissioned in May last year.
Shares of BHEL ended the session down by 0.32 per cent at Rs 94.40 on the BSE.
