SJVN expects to generate 7,100 million units of power from Nathpa Jhakri plant


Hydroelectric power producer Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) is expecting to generate over 7,100 million units of power from its 1500 MW Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station in the current fiscal.
The plant has already surpassed its previous best record of generating 7,018.8 million units achieved during fiscal 2009-10. This record power was generated despite heavy rains in the catchments of river Satluj in July and August last year. The downpour led to considerable increase in silt load, forcing the shutdown of plant for 22 days during the current financial year.
The company has reported a net profit of Rs 191.50 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a net profit of Rs 185.48 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, up by 3.25%. Its income from operations has increased by 7.17% to Rs 396.41 crore for the quarter ended from 369.89 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
