Project-level coal details

• Coal source(s): South Eastern Coalfields Ltd

Background

The project is sponsored by ACB (India) Ltd. On its website, in 2011, the company stated that the first 300MW unit would be commissioned is September 2013 and the second unit in December 2013. The proposed power station would be located at Nawapara Village in the Raigarh district, Chhattisgarh in India.

The project has received environmental clearance and has made an agreement with South Eastern Coalfields Ltd for coal. In November 2011, the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract was awarded to BGR Energy Systems.

A 2013 ACB (India) report lists the plant as under construction and planned for commissioning in FY 2014-5. The report states 390 MW will be sold to PTC India through a long term PPA. About 5% of the power will be sold to Chhattisgarh state power utility.

The company's website states that the proposed commissioning date of the first unit is March 2015 and the second unit September 2015, later moved to December 2015 and June 2016, then February 2016 and September 2016, then July 2016 and January 2017.

Unit 1 was commissioned in August 2016 and unit 2 in April 2017.

In March 2014, a re-financing agreement for the project was closed. US$377.65 million in loans was provided by Axis Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Maharashtra, Central Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, and Rural Electrification Corporation. US$94.57 million in equity was provided by ACB (India) Ltd and Jain Group. The details of the previous financing are not known.
