Infrastructure
With the time DVC developed and expanded its infrastructure Five thermal power
stations with a capacity of 2570 MW, three hydro-electric power stations with a
capacity of 144 MW and one gas turbine station with a capacity of 82.5 MW
contribute to a total installed capacity of 2796.5 MW. Presently DVC has 60 sub-
stations and receiving stations more than 5500-circuit km of transmission and
distribution lines. DVC has also four dams, a barrage and a network of canals that
play an effective role in water management. The construction of check dams,
development of forests and farms and upland and wasteland treatment developed by
DVC play a vital role in eco conservation.
