Mytrah Energy (India) Pvt Ltd (MEIPL), India’s leading independent power producer, has erected and commissioned the tallest met mast (160m) in the Asia Pacific on November 16, 2017 at Kayathar in the Tuticorin belt, Tamil Nadu.

“Power output depends on the size and height of turbines. Larger wind turbines lead to cost-effective power generation. Mytrah’s commissioning of this met mast reflects its focus on developing technological tools for revolutionising the renewable energy sector in the country.” said, Vikram Kailas, Vice Chairman & MD, Mytrah Energy (India) Pvt. Ltd (MEIPL).
