Conservation of biodiversity is not new to Tata Power. Indeed, the company's flagship biodiversity conservation program, the Mahseer Conservation Project, was initiated more than five decades ago.

The Mahseer are a group of species of freshwater fish, most of which face the threat of extinction in the wild. They are important cultural and biological icons of the rivers of India, linking livelihoods and biodiversity conservation to each other. We have trained 325 fisheries scientists and organized five national workshops to exchange knowledge with international experts, advancing conservation efforts.



Tata Power has strived to conserve these legendary fish for over five decades. Once revered as a holy fish, the species now faces the threat of extinction in the wild. Known as the "Tiger of the Freshwater," this majestic fish has captivated people with its size, strength, and agility.



For over five decades, Tata Power has closely worked with the Deccan Mahseer and the Golden Mahseer. Through sustained efforts, we have been able to get the Deccan Mahseer off the IUCN red list of endangered species to the Least Concern Status, while the Golden Mahseer is still on the red list.

Tor is a Golden Mahseer who hatched and grew up in the Tata Power hatchery at Walwhan, Lonavala. He is a smart, witty little chap who spends his time traveling and loves making friends.

He is one of the few among his friends and family who survived the wild. This series captures his journey in the wild, as he meets new people, animals, and fish on the way.
