Background
The project is being set up by Adani Power Maharashtra Ltd (APML), a subsidiary of Adani Power. It would consist of three phases:[1][2]
- Phase I - 2 x 660 MW
- Phase II - 1 x 660 MW
- Phase III - 2 x 660 MW
Phase I's Unit 1 (660 MW) was commissioned in 2012. Unit 2 (660 MW) was commissioned in March 2013. Phase II, unit 3 (660 MW) was commissioned in June 2013.[3]
According to the Central Electricity Authority, there are three units in Phase II; i.e., the CEA appears to merge Phase II and Phase III into a single Phase II of three units. According to the CEA, all three units (3, 4, and 5) will be commissioned in 2013.[3]
Stage III, unit 4 was commissioned in April 2014.[4] Unit 5 was reported as in operation by November 2014.[5]
Financing
Phase I (units 1 and 2): In January 2009, a financing agreement for phase I was closed. US$1.05 billion in loans was provided by the State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Indian Overseas Bank, Power Finance Corporation, Rural Electrification Corporation, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Mysore, UCO Bank, Corporation Bank, Life Insurance Corp of India, Punjab National Bank, State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur, State Bank of Indore, Syndicate Bank, Union Bank of India, and IDBI Bank. SBI Capital acted as financial adviser.[6][7]
Phase II (unit 3): In September 2009, a financing agreement for phase II was closed. US$451 million in loans was provided by the State Bank of India, Power Finance Corporation, UCO Bank, Rural Electrification Corporation, IDBI Bank, and State Bank of Travancore. SBI Capital acted as financial adviser.[8]
Phase III (units 4 and 5): In 2013, a financing agreement for phase III was closed.[9] China Development Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Standard Chartered Bank each provided US$160 million in loans. Adani Power provided US$85 million in equity.[10]
Water
On May 2, 2016, it was reported the Tiroda plant only had enough water to operate for a week. Maharashtra, which gets 20 per cent of its power from the plant, is lobbying the Madhya Pradesh Government to release water from the Bawanthadi dam to keep the plant operating. Two other smaller plants in Maharashtra, the 130 MW Parli power station and at least a third of the 600 MW Warora power station, have already been closed due to lack of water. The states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Odisha and West Bengal all declared drought in 2015.[11]
