The city of powerhouses

Straddling 800 metres to 3000 metres, in the heart of the northwestern Himalayas, Joginder Nagar stands as a testament to human ingenuity and natural beauty. Named after Raja Joginder Sen, the 18th king of Mandi, this charming town has a rich history and a unique claim to fame.

Joginder Nagar was established with a purpose: to harness the immense hydroelectric potential of the region. Today, it proudly holds the distinction of being the only city in Asia with three hydroelectric power stations. These powerhouses not only illuminate homes but also symbolize progress and resilience.

Energy hub

Joginder Nagar hosts three powerhouses, generating electricity from the gushing waters of the Uhl River. The city’s hydroelectric power stations play a pivotal role in meeting the energy demands of Himachal Pradesh, silently churning out megawatts, powering homes, industries, and dreams.

Sustainable development

Joginder Nagar’s commitment to clean energy aligns with global efforts to combat climate change. It exemplifies how progress can coexist harmoniously with nature.
