Jindal Power states on its website that it aims to "establish a presence in other forms of power generation such as gas, hydro, wind, nuclear and solar power, with a focus on hydro and other forms of environment friendly renewable energy sources." However, the company is a major player in the construction of India's 'Ultra Mega Power Projects'.<refname="JP ABout">[http://www.jindalpower.com/about-us/corporate-profile.aspx "Corporate Profile"], Jindal Power website, accessed May 2011.</ref> (See '''[[India and coal]]''' for more details of the government's plans).
JPL was the first private sector company to build one of the 'ultra mega' projects, the 1000 megawatt coal-fired Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The project began operation in December 2007. The company states that the "fuel supply of the plant is met through its captive coal mines. A 6.9 km conveyor pipeline has been set up for transportation of coal between the mines and the plant. The Company has constructed a 258 km, 400 KV Double Circuit transmission line from the plant to the PGCIL sub-station at Raipur through which power can be sold anywhere in India. For meeting the plant’s consumptive water requirement, an 18 m high dam over the Kurket River has been built, 25 km away from the project site."<refname="JP ABout"/>
The company also states that it is "expanding its capacity at Tamnar by setting up a 2400 MW thermal power plant" adjoining the existing Tamnar 1000 MW power plant. It also states that it has "signed an MoU with the State Government of Jharkhand to set up a 2640 MW thermal power plant."<refname="JP ABout"/>
