Gautam Adani Reviews ₹40,000 Crore Power Projects in Jharkhand and Bihar

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, visited key project sites in Jharkhand and Bihar to review ongoing and planned power investments worth over ₹40,000 crore. 

The visit highlights the conglomerate’s growing infrastructure footprint in eastern India, a region historically underserved in large-scale industrial capital deployment.

Godda Power Plant in Jharkhand

In tribal-dominated Godda, Jharkhand, Adani reviewed operations at the 1,600 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power plant developed with an investment of over ₹16,000 crore. The facility supplies electricity exclusively to Bangladesh under a long-term agreement, giving it cross-border economic significance.

As per news reports, the plant has generated thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities while strengthening regional rail connectivity and logistics infrastructure.

During his visit, Adani interacted with engineers, technicians, frontline workers, and tribal women from nearby communities, underscoring the company’s focus on local engagement.

Upcoming 2,400 MW Project in Bihar

In neighbouring Bihar, Adani assessed progress at the proposed 2,400 MW ultra-supercritical power project at Pirpainti near Bhagalpur. The project involves an investment of over ₹27,000 crore and is expected to be commissioned over the next four to five years.

The development aims to support rising industrialisation and urban power demand in Bihar. As per earlier announcements, Adani Power received a 25-year long-term Letter of Award from Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd for electricity procurement.
