The 60 MW Naitwar Mori Hydro Power Station produced 310.37 mn units in its second year of operations and maintenance, exceeding its design energy of 265.5 mn units by seventeen per cent. The 1,000 MW Bikaner Solar Power Station achieved a record by generating one bn units on 19 March 2026. Collectively these stations supported regional supply stability during peak demand periods.
