CESC thermal project synchronised

The Kolkata headquartered CESC Ltd on Wednesday announced that its first 300 MW unit of the 2 x 300 MW thermal power project at Chandrapur in Maharashtra had been “synchronised” earlier this week. The Rs 2,800-crore project, executed by Dhariwal Infrastructure Ltd, a 100 per cent subsidiary of CESC, is scheduled to be commissioned this year. This is CESC’s first foray in thermal power generation outside West Bengal. The company is a licensed electricity distributor for Kolkata.
