Background
Torrent Power Ltd, one of the leading
electrical utilities in the Indian power
sector and part of the Torrent Group,
is one of the most experienced private
sector players in Gujarat. Besides an
all-round experience in generation,
transmission and distribution of
power, the company has a proven
track record of implementing large
power projects. The high points of
Torrent’s foray into power have been
the acquisitions of two of India’s
oldest utilities – The Surat Electricity
Company Ltd and The Ahmedabad
Electricity Company Ltd. Torrent turned
them into first rate power utilities, in
terms of operational efficiencies and
reliability of power supply.
Today, Torrent has a generation
capacity of 1647.5 MW and distributes
power to more than 3 million
customers annually in Ahmedabad,
Gandhinagar, Surat, Bhiwandi and Agra.
