Highlighting Tata Power’s contribution to the state’s energy sector, Chandrasekaran said the company is operating a 1,900 MW thermal power unit at the Bara plant in Prayagraj, which is playing a crucial role in strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s power supply. Alongside this, efforts are being accelerated to expand solar power projects across the state.
