In a landmark development for India’s renewable energy landscape, THDC India Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Government of Gujarat and Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited for the supply of 184.08 MW of power from Tehri Pumped Storage Plant in Uttarakhand. The agreement is aimed at supporting Gujarat’s peak-hour power demand and enabling the large-scale integration of renewable energy (RE) into the grid. The signing ceremony, held on 25th June, 2025, was graced by Kanubhai Desai, Minister of Finance, Energy and Petrochemicals, Government of Gujarat; S J Haider, Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Gujarat; Anupam Anand, MD, GUVNL; Ms Bhakti Shamal, Joint Secretary, Government of Gujarat; R K Vishnoi, CMD, THDCIL; Sipan Kumar Garg, Director (Finance), THDCIL and K P Jangid, Director (Finance), GUVNL.

With India’s first Variable Speed Pumped Storage Plant, we are offering Gujarat a reliable and green energy solution to meet its dynamic peak-hour requirements. The Tehri PSP stands as a testament to THDCIL’s engineering excellence and vision for a sustainable energy future. THDCIL is steadily advancing sustainable energy solutions through innovative and State-of-Art technologies in Power Generation.

The organization remains committed to driving sustainable growth through such forward-looking initiatives. The MoU and PPA also align closely with the Government of India’s vision of promoting pumped storage technology as a reliable solution for flexible generation and grid balancing, particularly in the face of rising renewable penetration and variable demand patterns.
