R-Power & Tata Power bags 6 hydel projects in Himachal

21 Mar 2011 Evaluate

Reliance Power has entered Himachal Pradesh’s lucrative hydro-electric sector by securing five of the 18 projects through global bids. Reliance has been awarded 300-Mw Purthi project, 94-Mw Teling, 44-Mw Shangling, 130-Mw Sumte Kothang and 104-Mw Lara Sumta.


Like Reliance, the Tatas have also entered the hill state’s power sector for the first time by bagging the 236-Mw Dugar project, which will be built by Tata-SN Power. Larsen & Toubro and GVK Energy failed to bag any project.


Seventeen projects with an aggregate capacity of over 1,325 Mw were allotted. There were 63 bids in all. The Potam project bid was not alloted as there was only one bidder for this project. This time, the hydel projects were alloted on the basis of free power offered to the state government above the mandatory 13 per cent for 12 years, 19 per cent for 12 to 30 years and 31 per cent for 30 to 40 years.
