Mumbai, India — August 8, 2025 – JSW Energy Limited (“The Company”) is pleased to announce the successful commissioning of the third and final 80 MW Unit of Kutehr Hydroelectric Power Plant (“HEP”), marking the full commissioning of the 240 MW greenfield hydro project.
The Kutehr plant is situated in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh and is amongst one of the fastest built greenfield hydro projects in India. The project is backed by a long-term Power Purchase Agreement with Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC) for the entire 240 MW at a levelized ceiling tariff of `4.50/kWh, valid for 35 years with provisions for extension. Power generated will supply Haryana’s state distribution utilities — Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam.
The commissioning of Kutehr HEP, coupled with recent organic wind capacity additions, has taken the Company’s installed capacity to 13,020 MW, up from 10,875 MW at the end of FY25, reflecting a robust 2,145 MW increase since March 2025. The Company is proud to have achieved this significant installed capacity scale-up, which underscores its strong execution capabilities and commitment to powering a sustainable future.
