SHIMLA: SJVN has achieved a milestone in power generation by recording an all-time high generation of 50.498 million units (MU) in a single day.

CMD SJVN Shri Nand Lal Sharma said the  1,500 MW Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station contributed significantly to this achievement by setting a new record of 39.527 MU, surpassing its previous record of 39.526 MU set on August 29, 2022.  In tow  the 412 MW Rampur Power Station also made a notable contribution by generating 10.971 MU, breaking its previous record of 10.954 MU on July 16, 2023.
