Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station has become the first single hydro power station of the country to surpass 6000 million units of electricity generation on 7 February 2008; much ahead of the close of the Financial Year (2007-08). This highest generation has been achieved besides all odds which the plant faced like adverse hydrology, flash floods and high-silt contents.

As a result of such performance, the Company has been able to pay dividends to the shareholders which are the governments of India and Himachal Pradesh from the very first year of its commercial operation itself.

Shri R.P. Singh informed that the generation during the current period had also surpassed the MoU targets entered into with the Ministry of Power. Shri Singh hopes that the power station will be able to meet the MoU targets of 6400 million units for the year 2007-08.
