Maharashtra, Tata Power to ink pact for 1,000 MW for Mumbai.

Keeping in mind the future power requirements of the Mumbai region, the Maharashtra government plans to sign a MoU with Tata Power for sourcing 1,000 MW from the upcoming Dherand Thermal Project, said Maharashtra’s Power Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule recently.

Addressing the media at the State Secretariat, he said both power requirement and transmission capacity for the Mumbai region requires further augmentation. The tie-up with Tata Power is a step in that direction. Since the present State government came to power, the transmission capacity for Mumbai city has increased by 1300 MW, he said.

Bawankule did not specify the timeline or the tariff at which the electricity would be procured from Tata Power.
