The undated satellite photo below shows construction activity at the site, which is located about 6 km east of Sinnar in Nasik district.

Background

The power station is being developed in two phases by Indiabulls Power in Sinnar, Nasik district. Phase I would be 1350 MW (5 x 270 MW) and Phase II: 1350 MW (5 x 270 MW).

In 2011 the company stated 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."[1] The company also stated that the project had achieved financial closure and that "construction is in full swing."[2]

According to the September 2013 report of the Central Electricity Authority, construction had slipped significantly, with estimated completion of Phase I expected expected during 2014 and 2015 (see "Project Details" below for unit-by-unit commissioning estimates). As for Phase II, the report no longer lists the project as under construction.[3]
