02 Sep 2025 CW Team

Adani Power Ltd has secured a Letter of Award (LoA) from MP Power Management Company Ltd (MPPMCL) to develop and supply power from a new 800 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power plant in Anuppur district, Madhya Pradesh. The project, set up under the Design, Build, Finance, Own and Operate (DBFOO) model, will involve an investment of Rs 105 billion and aims to strengthen the state’s energy security amid growing demand driven by industrialisation and urbanisation.

India’s largest private thermal power generator will supply electricity at a final tariff of Rs 5.838 per kWh. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned within 54 months of the appointed date. Coal linkage for the facility has been secured under the Central Government’s SHAKTI Policy through an allocation to Madhya Pradesh.

SB Khyalia, CEO of Adani Power, stated, “As India’s power demand continues to rise, especially for base load capacity, investing in robust and advanced energy infrastructure is essential. The Anuppur plant will deliver reliable and affordable power for homes and businesses in Madhya Pradesh.”

The project is expected to create 6,000–7,000 jobs during the construction phase and approximately 1,000 jobs once operational. The initiative supports Adani Power’s broader strategy to meet India’s energy needs while adopting modern technologies for improved efficiency and sustainability.

This marks the fourth major power supply order won by Adani Power in the past year. In September 2024, the company, alongside Adani Green Energy, secured a 6,600 MW composite power supply order from Maharashtra. In May 2025, it received an LoA from the Uttar Pradesh government for a 1,600 MW greenfield thermal plant, followed by an LoA from the Bihar government in August for a 2,400 MW power plant.

The Anuppur project further reinforces Adani Power’s growing footprint in India’s energy sector and its contribution to building resilient and future-ready infrastructure across states.
