Most of the power generated in India is produced by thermal power plants that are fuelled by the large coal reserves in the country. We run our own captive power plants to meet the requirements of our mining and smelting operations at all our locations. They operate at an optimal capacity compared to the other standard power utility plants leading to more efficient power generation.

In the previous financial year we reported the commissioning of 38.4 MW wind turbines. This year we added about 68.8 MW of wind energy capacity and by April 2008 our installed capacity has become 107.2 MW. We intend to grow this capacity to 125 MW by the second quarter of 2008-09.
