Demonstrating exceptional operational efficiency, the restoration was accomplished within just four months from the placement of the order, ensuring the uninterrupted supply of power to the grid.

Meticulous damage assessment and the execution of a comprehensive and expeditious restoration plan ensured minimal disruption to the power supply.

Trombay Plant Since 1956

Since its inception in 1956, the Trombay Plant has been central to Mumbai’s power infrastructure, starting with the city’s first 62.5 MW thermal power station. Between 1960 and 1997, it expanded with eight additional units, strengthening energy security. 

Notably, Unit 5 became India’s first 500 MW multi-fuel generating unit, featuring a then-record 150-metre chimney. With a current capacity of 930 MW, the Trombay Plant continues to provide reliable electricity to both bulk and retail consumers, playing a key role in Mumbai’s power ecosystem.

Tata Power’s Unit 5

Complementing Unit 5, Tata Power’s 447 MW hydroelectric plants play a vital role in balancing peak demand and integrating renewables, strengthening Mumbai’s energy landscape. Focused on advanced technologies and system reliability, Tata Power’s successful reactivation of Unit 5 positions it to meet rising energy demands, reaffirming its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and consumer satisfaction.
