According to the statement, standalone generation stood at 13,022 MUs (million units) in Q3 FY'17, as against 12,032 MUs during the same quarter of FY'16.

Tata Power MD & CEO Anil Sardana said in the statement, "Tata Power has and will continue to create tangible value for its stakeholders. We have in this quarter spread our footprint across two additional geographies, namely, South Africa and Zambia where additional generation is welcome. We will continue to be part of India's growth story while selecting greener & good projects in select international geographies."

The company said that it is firmly on the road to generating 30-40 per cent of its total generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2025.
