Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
GENERATION
HARYANA POWER GENERATION CORPORATION LIMITED
Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (HPGCL) was incorporated as a
company under the Companies Act, 1956 and commenced business on 5 August 1997.
HPGCL took over the functions of generation of power of the erstwhile HSEB on 14
August 1998, pursuant to the implementation of power reforms in the State.
The key responsibilities of HPGCL are:
(a) Generation and sale of power from the existing generating stations of Haryana
and to sell the entire power generated exclusively to the Haryana Vidyut
Prasaran Nigam Limited (HPVNL); and
(b) To set up new power projects in the State sector.
GENERATING CAPACITY IN THE STATE
Capacity Before Restructuring
At the time of restructuring, in 1998, the capacity under HPGCL was 863 MW with
thermal share of about 95 per cent. There were two main generating facilities, viz., at
Panipat with a capacity of 650 MW (4x110 MW + 1x210 MW) and at Faridabad with
five units of 55 MW each. Besides the above, the State had a small hydel capacity of
48 MW at West Yamuna Canal.
Capacity Addition After Restructuring
Considering the widening demand supply gap in the State, significant capacity
addition initiatives were introduced during the last five years after restructuring of
HSEB. HPGCL has added around 724 MW with three units at Panipat (1x210 MW +
2x250 MW = 710 MW) and 14.40 MW at West Yamuna Canal. The State now has a
total generating capacity of 1,587.40 MW.
CAPACITY ADDITION INITIATIVES IN THE STATE
Capacity Addition
During the Tenth Plan period, the State has been able to add around 724 MW of
generation capacity and has formulated an ambitious plan for capacity addition during
the Eleventh Plan. The Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Project-II, Yamuna
Nagar with a capacity of 600 MW (2x300 MW) is expected to be commissioned by
February 2008. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 2,400.23 crore, including
