The 500 MW Unit I of Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Project on 5 March
2011 began commercial operations at Jhajjar in Haryana.
The 1,500 MW (3x500) power project is being set up by Aravali Power Company,
a JV between NTPC, Indraprastha Power Generation Company and Haryana Power
Generation Company.
The Unit I has achieved COD within CERC stipulated 44 months of investment
approval, making it eligible for 0.5 per cent extra returns on equity throughout
its life. Power generated from the Jhajjar project will be supplied in equal
measure to Haryana and Delhi.
Meanwhile, work is underway on the other two units.
