A waste heat recovery system of an engine is provided. The waste heat recovery system includes an inlet member adapted to introduce exhaust gases in the aftertreatment system, and an outlet member adapted to receive the exhaust gases from the Selective Catalytic Reduction module. The outlet member includes a first surface defining a passage, and a second surface coupled with a power generation module. The power generation module includes a plurality of power generating units having a first lead and a second lead. The power generating units are adapted to generate electric power based on a temperature gradient between the first and second lead. At least one of the first lead and the second lead is exposed to the exhaust gases. An electric load is coupled with the plurality of power generating units for utilizing the power generated by the plurality of power generating units.
