Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power company, is celebrating centenary year. Buoyed by the vision of its founder, Jamshetji N Tata, that clean, cheap and abundant power is one of the basic ingredients for the economic progress of a city, a state or a country, Tata Power began its operations in 1915 by commissioning India's first large hydroelectric project in Khopoli, Maharashtra.
Tata Power accomplished 100 years of operation on February 2015. The commemoration of centenary year celebrations were kicked off with the unveiling of logo and theme depicting the company’s 100-year service of ‘Invisible Goodness’ to the nation by chairman of Tata Power and Tata Group Cyrus Mistry in an event at Khopoli.
The senior leadership team unveiled the same in Mumbai thereafter. The company also took this opportunity to thank million of its stakeholders- customers, investors, shareholders, employees and associate partners, who were the invisible force behind its 100 years of institution building. Honouring the contribution of these various stakeholders, Tata Power also announced several special initiatives including salient dedications in line with its nation building spirit.
In this centenary year, the company commits to develop 450 MW of clean power through hydel (same as its current existing capacity of 450 MW of hydro power in Maharashtra) as its contribution to facilitate clean power for India. The company aims to commission 120 MW Hydro plant this year. It also announced development of 450 MW new hydro plant in the company portfolio.
Through its unique programme on energy and resource conservation, Tata Power Club Enerji, which is spearheaded by schoolchildren, the company plans to help citizens across the country to save Rs100 crore this year. This will be facilitated through mass awareness drives or rallies and unique initiatives facilitated by these schoolchildren.
