Singrauli Expansion, Madhya Pradesh    Capacity : 1600 MW (2X800 MW)

Mahan Energen Limited (MEL), a subsidiary of Adani Power Limited (APL) is expanding its existing 1200 MW (2x600 MW) power plant at Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh by addition of 1600 MW (2X800 MW) under Phase-II. The expansion units are based on Ultra-supercritical technology. The power generated by the Phase-II plant will be supplied under a long term PPA for 1230 MW (Net) to Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Ltd.

The Kawai plant is located in village Kawai, Atru Tehsil, Baran district, Rajasthan. Under Phase‑II, Adani Power plans to expand the plant by adding two new units of 800 MW each — i.e. 2 × 800 MW = 1,600 MW additional capacity. The expansion will use supercritical (or ultra‑supercritical) coal‑based technology — meaning more efficient coal combustion compared to older plants. With Phase‑II (and subsequent phases) the total capacity of the Kawai plant is planned to increase up to ≈ 4,520 MW (existing 1,320 MW + proposed 3,200 MW expansion over two phases) according to published plans.

The project envisions building a super‑critical coal‑based thermal power plant comprising 2 units × 660 MW = 1,320 MW capacity at Village Pathadi, District Korba, Chhattisgarh (under Korba Power Ltd / APL).It is described as an expansion over an existing 600 MW (2×300 MW) plant. The project has applied for and been granted a formal Terms of Reference (ToR) under India’s environmental‑clearance regime (EIA Notification, 2006) — meaning environmental impact assessment (EIA / EMP) will be/has been initiated.

Raigarh Phase‑II involves expanding the existing coal‑based thermal power capacity by adding two new units of 800 MW each, totalling 1,600 MW.The technology planned for the expansion is ultra‑supercritical coal‑fired thermal generation — meaning the units will use high‑efficiency steam parameters for better thermal efficiency. The expansion is proposed at the existing plant location in Raigarh District (villages including Chhote Bhandar, Bade Bhandar, Sarvani & Amli Bhanuna, Tehsil Pussore).The expansion project needs about 355.71 hectares of land — reportedly within the existing thermal‑power‑plant area.

The expansion aims to add two new units of 800 MW each (so 1,600 MW additional) to the existing plant capacity (which is 1,370 MW — 2×685 MW) at the site in Tilda block, Raipur district (villages include Raikheda, Gaitara & Chicholi). The technology planned is ultra‑supercritical coal‑based thermal power, which is more efficient than older coal‑plants.The expansion will use the existing industrial‑area site (in CSIDC industrial area, under Adani’s possession). No additional land acquisition is reportedly required, as the required 358.15 hectares falls within the current boundary.

The project proposes to set up two generating units of 800 MW each, giving a total capacity of 1,600 MW.The plant will be located in Village Dadri Khurd, Tehsil Mirzapur Sadar, Mirzapur district, Uttar Pradesh. It is being developed by the Adani subsidiary Mirzapur Thermal Energy (UP) Pvt Ltd (MTEUPPL), which acquired earlier the rights of a previous project (originally proposed by a different company).Estimated investment for the project is ~ ₹14,000 crore (typical for a greenfield 1600 MW coal project).

Completed Projects

The Udupi Power Plant is located in the Udupi District (erstwhile Dakshina Kannada District) of Karnataka, comprising villages of Yelluru, Tenka, Santhuru and Bada and is about 35 km north of Mangalore City in Karnataka State, India. It is flanked by Konkan Railway on the west, local roads to Mudarangadi village on the east and north and Padubidri-Karkala state highway on the south. The area where the power plant is located has been declared as an industrial area under Section 3 (1) of the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) in the Gazette of the Government of Karnataka. The site is about 28m above mean sea level and falls under seismic zone III. The maximum ambient temperature is about 38°C and the annual mean relative humidity is 74-80%. The nearest seaport is at Mangalore (New Mangalore Port).

The power generated is evacuated at two levels i.e. 220 kV and 400 kV. Karnataka Power Transmission Company Ltd. (KPTCL) has commissioned the 220 KV transmission lines from the UPCL power plant to the substation at Kemar at a distance of 25 km.

The requirement of coal for these units is met through import. Udupi power plant procures coal through International Competitive Bidding (ICB) and spot purchases.

Being a coastal area with perennial availability of seawater, it is used to meet the condenser cooling and other water requirements. Re-circulating type of circulating water (CW) system with natural draft cooling towers is installed. Desalination of seawater is carried out to meet the freshwater requirement for the plant.

Bottom ash is collected in silos in moist form and fly ash is collected in dry form in storage silos. For the fly ash agreement has been entered into with cement manufacturer for utilization of the fly ash. Unutilized ash is disposed at identified ash disposal areas.
