Adani Power Ltd (APL) has been awarded 1,600 MW capacity by MP Power Management Company Limited (MPPMCL) under a recently concluded tender. This includes 800 MW initially awarded and an additional 800 MW under the Greenshoe Option at the same tariff of ₹5.838/kWh.
The power will be supplied from a new 1,600 MW Ultra-supercritical thermal power unit (800 MW × 2) in Anuppur district, Madhya Pradesh. The project will be developed under the DBFOO model (Design, Build, Finance, Own, and Operate) and will be commissioned within 60 months of the appointed date. APL plans to invest ~₹21,000 crore in setting up the plant and related infrastructure.
Coal supply for the project has been secured under the Government of India’s SHAKTI Policy. The project is expected to generate 9,000–10,000 jobs during construction and around 2,000 jobs once operational, boosting both employment and local development.
The inclusion of a greenshoe mechanism in coal-based power procurement makes this tender one of its kind in India. It will help Madhya Pradesh meet its growing electricity demand driven by industrialisation and urbanisation, strengthening the state’s energy security.
This is APL’s fifth major power supply order in the past year, raising its awarded capacity to 7,200 MW. Recent wins include:
Currently, Adani Power operates 18.15 GW across 12 thermal power plants. The company is implementing India’s largest private sector capex programme and targets 41.87 GW total generation capacity by FY 2031-32.
