NEW DELHI, Aug 20:
State-run NHPC today said it has restored Unit-4 of its Chutak power station in Jammu and Kashmir, which was shut down due to sudden increase in the water level in June.
“With reference to the earlier letter dated June 29, 2015, NHPC Ltd has now informed BSE that one unit (i.e. Unit 4) of Chutak Power Station has been restored on August 19, 2015,” the company said in a statement.
In June, the company had said in a BSE filing, “Consequent to sudden increase in water level in unit 3 and 4 on June 28, 2015, the Chutak power station is under complete shutdown.”
“The de-watering pumps are in operation and the level of water is decreasing,” it had informed the bourse.
