On its website the company states that it "is fast emerging as one of the top three private sector power developers in India with 2,092 megawatt (MW) under operation, 7,153 MW under construction, and 11,070 MW of projects under development."[1]

Coal-fired power stations

On its website Lanco lists its current coal-fired power stations as:[2]

  • Udupi power station is an existing 1200 megawatt power station based on imported coal. The plant is in Udupi District of Karnataka State in the Coastal Region of India. The first generating unit was commissioned in November 2010 and the second unit in April 2011.[3]
  • Amarkantak Thermal Power Project is a proposed 600 megawatt coal fired plant near Pathadi Village on Korba-Champa State Highway in Chhattisgarh. The plant comprises two 300 megawatt generating units.[4]
  • Anpara thermal power station is a 1200 megawatt coal-fired power station comprising two subcritical units of 600 MW each. The plant is located near Anpara in Uttar Pradesh. As of July 2011, the plant is currently being commissioned.[5]
  • Vidarbha thermal power station is a proposed 1320 megawatt power station comprising two subcritical units of 660 MW each. The proposed plant site is near Mandva, Wardha District, Maharastra.[6]
  • Babandh power station is a proposed 1320 megawatt coal-fired power station comprising two subcritical units of 660 MW each located in Dhenkanal District, Orissa.[7]

Coal mines

In March 2011 Lanco bought the Griffin Coal Mining Co. Pty Ltd’s coal mines in Western Australia for A$750 million. The report stated that "Lanco plans to boost almost four-fold to over 15 million tonnes per annum, in addition to adding rail linkages, and expanding facilities at Bunbury port." The coal, aside from that produced domestically, would be exported to feed Lanco's proposed major increase in coal-fired power plants it owns and operates in India.[11]
