Historical data

In 1929, Central Railways established their thermal power station at Chola, 3 Km from Kalyan, to supply traction loads in the Ghat section. The station was interconnected with Tata system through 110 kV lines at Kalyan receiving station in 1940. The interconnection proved beneficial to both Railways and Tatas during Second World War. The Thermal units of Central Railways at Chola were decommissioned in 1993/94 and Kalyan is now feeding Central Railways about average 28 million units in the month.
