Overview
- Assam issued Letters of Award to Adani Power for a 3,200 MW ultra‑supercritical coal plant and to Adani Green for two pumped‑storage projects totaling 2,700 MW, described by the group as the Northeast’s largest private‑sector investment.
- Adani Power’s bid won at a tariff of Rs 6.30 per kWh, with the plant to be developed under the DBFOO model and coal linkage secured through the Centre’s SHAKTI policy.
- Phased commissioning of the thermal project is planned to begin in December 2030 to meet rising baseload demand.
- Adani Green also received an LoA for 500 MW of energy storage capacity to be delivered from the new pumped‑storage plants to bolster peak‑time supply and grid stability.
- The companies project 20,000–25,000 jobs during construction and about 3,500 during operations, with roughly 30,000 positions across both projects in the project phase.
