The Haryana Power Generation Corporation (HPGCL) achieved a record generation of 622.71 lakh units of electricity in single day on February 11 and surpassed its own record.

While stating this Sanjeev Kaushal, MD of HPGCL said that this was a land mark achievement as the state power utility had first time crossed the 600-unit milestone.

In a setback to the state government, a report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General (CAG) has held the government responsible for the delay in the commissioning of two units of 300 MW each of the Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant, Yamunanagar, and for causing a loss of Rs 622 crore to the state.

Yamunanagar: The power crisis further aggravated in the state today with the closure of unit-8 of the 250-MW super thermal plant, Panipat. The unit-8 was shut down last night following leakage in boiler.

Yamunanagar: The two major thermal plants of the state - the Yamunanagar-based Deen Bandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Project of 600 MW and the Super Thermal Plant, Panipat, of 1360 MW - have come under the category of super critical stage due to shortage of coal in the stock for these plants.
