THDC India Ltd (THDCIL) has commenced commercial operation of the second 660 MW unit of its 2x660 MW Khurja Super Thermal Power Project in Khurja, Uttar Pradesh, marking the full commissioning of the 1,320 MW plant.

The commissioning was virtually inaugurated by Union Minister Manohar Lal, with participation from senior officials of the Uttar Pradesh government.
