It is a six hours peaking run-of-river type power station having annual design generation of 842 GWh and was commissioned in 2002. Aided by favorable river discharge and increasing load in the western region, it exceeded the target and design generation in FY 2011/12. This also indicated that with rigorous operation practice in intake area, timely repair activities and proper operational support, generation can be increased even further.

The cumulative generation of the station till F/Y 2011/12 has reached 6,960.431 GWh from the first run. The plant recorded the highest generation of 860.754 GWh so far in F/Y 2011/12 which is an increase of 11.0% compared to that of previous year and has a share of 20.6% of the total energy in INPS in FY 2011/2012.
