Tata Power Mundra UMPP bags Silver Shield award by CEA

Tata Power, one of India's largest integrated power companies, has been honoured with the Silver Shield Award by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for its Mundra Ultra Mega Power Plant (UMPP) under the ‘comprehensive award scheme’. This award has been given for the early completion of Mundra UMPP’s Unit 5 (800MW).

Tata Power, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Coastal Gujarat Power (CGPL), supplies power to five states, namely Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Maharashtra. The project was completed in only one year from the date of commissioning of the first 800MW unit in March 2012. The average gap between the synchronization of two units has been 3.5 months, which is less than the baseline schedule of 4 months and is also less than the 5 months provided in the original PPA.

The CEA is an organization constituted by the Ministry of Power in 2004-2005 to recognize meritorious performances in the power sector. The objective of the comprehensive award scheme is to develop the spirit of competitiveness amongst the various power utilities in the power sector.
