By commencing supply to Assam, Hindustan Power has strengthened its role in addressing regional electricity needs and supporting India’s shift towards a more resilient and sustainable energy ecosystem. The initiative forms part of wider efforts to reinforce energy security as the country transitions to cleaner and more reliable power systems.
