Background

The EMCO Energy Warora Power Project is a 600 megawatt power station in near Warora, Maharashtra, India. The power station is operated by EMCO Energy, a subsidiary of the GMR Group.[1]

Coal supply difficulties

According to a March 2013 newspaper article, the project was experiencing coal acquisition difficulties. The article reported that "the first unit is yet to start receiving coal under the fuel supply agreement that the firm had signed with the Singareni Collieries Company Limited." According to a company source, "Coal supply is expected to begin shortly. For now, we are getting coal from the open market, including e-auction.”[2]

Company "on the block"

According to one newspaper report, "There has been talk that the GMR group is keen to divest its holdings in some of its units, including GMR Emco, in order to lighten its debt burden. GMR, which had a gross debt of about Rs43,000 crore by December-end, has denied any such sale plans."[2]
