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.
