The Covid pandemic and ensuing lockdown had impacted demand in all sectors. However, with the government moving from the ‘Lockdown’ approach to ‘Unlock’, green shoots of growth have started to appear in the Nation’s economic activity. The industry is jumping back to pre-Covid levels of productivity and capacity utilisation. Essar Power is no different!
As power generation is an essential service, the company had been operational even during the lockdown and has been taking stringent safety precautions for all employees working on site during such time. However, the output was impacted due to low demand.
A quick look at the power generation numbers now give enough signs of the return of normal operations under the ‘new normal’ of current times. As compared to the April generation numbers, June has witnessed over 200% growth in Essar’s Mahan and Salaya power plants.
Taking extreme precautions to keep the sites safe from the pandemic, Essar Power has ensured that operations stabilise, and growth is back on track!
