The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) is set receive a significant boost to its electricity needs with the Mumbai Energy Corridor Project all set to wheel in, over 2,000 megawatts of electric power to the grid.

In response to the increasing energy demand fuelled by rapid urbanisation, and the limitations of MMR’s aging power infrastructure—installed four to five decades ago—a new power corridor became essential to ensure a reliable and robust electricity supply for the region. The additional power is also essential for supporting the Rs 81,137 crore worth of development projects recently approved by the Maharashtra State Cabinet Sub-Committee on Industries.
