Financing

Source of financing: US$22.90 million in debt from Yes Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, and State Bank of Hyderabad; US$9.58 million in equity from ACB (India) Ltd.[1]

Background

The plant was a pilot project set up to utilize the by-products of ACB's coal benefication business. Unit 1 commissioned in 2007,[2] and Unit 2 in 2014.[3]

As of 2017, Unit 1 appeared on CEA power generation reports with 0 MW of monitored capacity and a note that the unit was "not yet commissioned," although the unit had been operational in the past.[4] More recent CEA lists of thermal power stations omitted Unit 1 entirely, but Unit 2 was still listed.[5] Without documentation of the retirement of Unit 1, the unit was presumed to be mothballed as of 2017 as it did not appear to be generating any power.

Financing for Unit 2

In September 2010, a financing agreement for Unit 2 was closed. US$22.90 million in loans will be provided by Yes Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, and State Bank of Hyderabad. US$9.58 million in equity will be provided by ACB (India) Ltd.[1]
