In quick succession, another hydro generating unit of 68 MW at Rampur Hydro Electric Project (HEP) in Himachal Pradesh has been commissioned by Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL). With this, BHEL has successfully commissioned five units of the 412 MW hydro power plant of SJVN. The earlier four units at Rampur HEP were commissioned between March 2014 and June 2014. All the four have since been put into commercial operation. The sixth and last Unit is in an advanced stage of execution and is likely to be commissioned by BHEL shortly.

Rampur HEP powerhouse is located on River Satluj, a major tributary of the Indus Basin in Himachal Pradesh - 120 km from Shimla.

BHEL has been committed to the nation's power development programme and has reaffirmed its commitment to the Indian Power Sector by equipping itself by way of contemporary technology, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and skilled technical manpower.
