HCC – Tata Projects JV Wins Rs. 2,470 Cr. Pumped Storage Project in Maharashtra

Hindustan Construction Company Limited (HCC) and Tata Projects Limited (TPL) JV have secured an order for developing a 1,000 MW Bhivpuri Pumped Storage Project (PSP) in Maharashtra. This project will be developed at an estimated cost of Rs. 2,470 crore.

HCC-Tata Projects’ upcoming Bhivpuri PSP will be developed as off-stream* open-loop system**

Scope of work in this project for the JV includes civil and Hydro & Mechanical (H&M) works of the PSP. These H&M works include designing, installing, and commissioning of mechanical components and structures that handle water flow and energy conversion of the PSP.

The company will also be responsible for constructing coffer dam, intake structures at the existing Thokerwadi upper reservoir, pressure shaft, powerhouse and a new lower reservoir with Geomembrane Faced Rockfill Dam (GFRD). The joint venture will also handle infrastructure and Electro-Mechanical (E&M) works.

*In pumped storage projects, off-stream refers to facilities that utilize separate reservoirs rather than being directly connected to a river or natural water source.

**Open loop systems in PSP involve the recirculation of water between an upper and a lower reservoir. In this type of PSP, one or both reservoirs are connected to a naturally flowing water source, such as a river or lake.
