A Historic Milestone: 94.60% Capacity Utilization

The Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RVUNL) set a new benchmark on June 2, 2026, by generating the highest-ever 7,171 MW of electricity from its 23 coal-based thermal units, which have a total installed capacity of 7,580 MW. This marks the greatest operational achievement since the inception of the production corporation.

Following the formation of the current state government, Chief Minister Mr. Bhajanlal Sharma issued clear directives with a special focus on the energy sector. Acting on these instructions, RVUNL systematically addressed long-standing technical flaws in the thermal units. Through phased and proper maintenance, the corporation achieved a staggering 94.60% utilization rate across its coal-based units, resulting in this record-breaking 7,171 MW output.
