Background

Amravati Thermal Power Project is a 2670 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station which is currently under construction. The first unit of 270 MW was completed on March 25, 2013.[1] The project, which is owned by Indiabulls Power Ltd, comprises five 270 MW units with a further 1320 MW under development.[2] The power station is being built at Nandgaonpeth, Amravati district, Maharashtra.

According to the Central Electricity Authority, Phase II consists of five units of 270 MW each, rather than two units of 660 MW each as described by Indiabulls.[1]

The company states that "coal linkage has been granted and letters of assurance from South Eastern Coalfields Ltd. (SECL), Western Coalfields Ltd. (WCL) and Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. (MCL) have been issued."[3]

The company also states that the project has achieved financial closure and that "construction is in full swing."[4]
