ADHPL is a subsidiary of Malana Power (MPCL), a joint venture between Bhilwara Energy and SN Power. Bhilwara holds 51% interest in MPCL, while SN Power holds the rest. With the commissioning of this plant, the total installed capacity of Bhilwara Group in hydro power has gone up to 300MW.
The Manali hydroelectric project is fed by water from the Allain and Duhangan rivers. It also includes a 175km high voltage transmission line to evacuate electricity to the northern grid at Nalagarh in Himachal Pradesh.
Ravi Jhunjhunwala, chairman of LNJ Bhilwara Group, said: “With this, our journey into the critical power sector gets momentum and we are all set to rationalize our capabilities and create many more hydro power projects which bring tremendous strength to our value chain.”
