Adani Power puts 6,500 MW capacity expansion plan on hold

27 Dec 2011 Evaluate

Due to lack of clarity on coal supplies, Adani Power has currently put its 6,500 megawatt (MW) of capacity expansion plan on hold. Power companies often struggle to access local supplies despite of country holding 10 percent of the world's coal reserves. This is due to environmental and land acquisition delays forcing the power players to import expensive coal. Coal accounts for 55 percent of India's power generation capacity of 182,344 megawatts.

Recently, the company was planning to commission entire 4,620-MW proposed thermal power capacity at Mundra by February. The company had set up four units of 330 MW each at Mundra in the initial phases.

The company’s net profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 has surged 41.04% at Rs 177.48 crore as compared to Rs 125.84 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company’s total income has increased by 171.55% at Rs 1073.08 crore for the second quarter of the current fiscal from Rs 395.17 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
