The Rampur hydroelectric project in Himachal Pradesh has exceeded its previous output, marking a first for the 412‑MW facility.
SJVN’s 412‑megawatt Rampur hydro power station, located on the Satluj River in Himachal Pradesh, has reported a generation output that surpasses its earlier peak, setting a new performance benchmark for the plant.
The achievement reflects a combination of favourable monsoon inflows and enhanced turbine efficiency, allowing the facility to operate at higher capacity than previously recorded.
Officials said the record boost will contribute significantly to the state’s renewable energy mix and help meet growing electricity demand in northern India.
SJVN highlighted that the plant’s performance underscores its commitment to sustainable power generation and will inform future upgrades across its hydro portfolio.
