The Group's principal activity is the generation of hydro electric power. The power plant is situated in Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh. Which throws up major geological surprises, including ruptured rocks, squeezing rock conditions and water bodies, frequently making the task that much more challenging and tough. The company has executed around 127 km. of tunneling work, mostly in the Himalayan range. Hydroelectric power stations capture the energy in flowing water to produce electricity. The power stations are comprised of turbine generators and the structures necessary to channel and regulate the flow of water to the turbines. Water flows from high points to low points because of the force of the gravity. Hydroelectric power systems capture some of the energy embodied in the flow of water and convert it into electrical energy. The power available in the flow of water in a given interval depends on two factors: the vertical distance that the water ' falls ' over the interval, measured in feet or meters, and the volume of flow of water, measured in cubic feet or cubic meters per second (cumecs). If a dam is constructed to block the flow of water, a river or stream may be channelised through turbines connected to electric generators to produce power. The power produced by hydroelectric system is the product of three parmeters: the distance of water ' falls ' from the intake to the outlet, the volume of flow of water, and the efficiency of the turbine / generator equipment.'
