Unit III of Tuticorin Thermal Power Station (TTPS), which was shut down following a fire accident at the power station on March 15, resumed its operation on Thursday morning.
The TTPS had previously operated all the five units, each having a generation capacity of 210 MW. However, a sudden fire outbreak on March 15 completely damaged Units I and II, while Unit III suffered a minor damage in the power supply system.

After 17 days of repair and restoration works, Unit III has been brought back into operation.
