Tripura To Supply 40 MW Power To Mizoram For Christmas

2025-10-08

The Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) will supply 40 megawatts (MW) of power to Mizoram during the upcoming Christmas celebrations, continuing a long-standing tradition of power exchange between the two north-eastern states, officials confirmed on Sunday.

During Durga Puja, the Mizoram State Power Corporation (MSPC) had supplied an equivalent 40 MW of electricity to Tripura to ensure an uninterrupted power supply during the festive period.

“We had an agreement to receive 40 MW during Durga Puja, although the full amount was not utilised due to lower-than-expected demand in our state,” said Biswajit Bose, Managing Director of TSECL.

He added that under the reciprocal arrangement, TSECL will now supply 40 MW to Mizoram throughout December and January to help meet higher seasonal demand during the Christmas period.

According to Bose, TSECL had initially targeted supplying 363 MW of electricity during the four-day Durga Puja festivities. However, actual demand ranged between 290 MW and 320 MW, peaking at 360 MW on Maha Ashtami (30 September).

“There was no shortage or outage during the festival as TSECL implemented comprehensive measures to ensure an uninterrupted power supply,” he said.

The mutual power-sharing agreement between the two states highlights the regional cooperation framework that supports energy stability across India’s North-East, particularly during high-demand festive seasons.
