NHPC has achieved a new milestone by recording its highest-ever single-day power generation of 169.34 Million Units (MU) on 02.08.2026 during FY 2026-27, surpassing its previous highest-ever single-day generation of 167.02 MU recorded on 01.08.2026.
Congratulating the entire NHPC family on this achievement, Shri Bhupender Gupta, CMD, NHPC, said, “This achievement reflects the dedication, teamwork and technical excellence of our employees across NHPC’s power stations and projects. It reaffirms our commitment to operational excellence, timely project execution, asset reliability and sustainable power generation. I congratulate every member of the NHPC family for this remarkable accomplishment.”
The record has been made possible through the commissioning of the 800 MW Parbati-II Hydroelectric Project, the addition of 1,000 MW capacity at the Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project (750 MW during FY 2025-26 and an additional 250 MW in May 2026) and the successful restoration of the 510 MW Teesta-V Power Station in July 2026 after remaining out of service since the October 2023 flash floods.
With these developments, NHPC’s operational installed capacity has increased to 7,651 MW (Hydro: 7,251 MW, Solar: 350 MW, Wind: 50 MW), enabling the Company to maximize clean energy generation during the ongoing high inflow season.
This milestone reinforces NHPC’s commitment to powering the nation with reliable, renewable and sustainable electricity, contributing significantly to India’s energy security and clean energy transition.
