JSW Energy Commissions 350 MW, Unit-1 of Ind-Barath Thermal Power Plant Mumbai

January 15, 2024 – JSW Energy Limited has successfully commissioned Unit-1 (350 MW) at Ind-Barath 700 MW (2 x 350 MW) thermal power plant in Odisha. Post the commissioning of this unit, the company’s operational capacity rises to 7,189 MW. This will help the Company to further diversify its fuel mix, geographical spread and off-take arrangements.

Ind-Barath TPP was acquired under the NCLT proceeding in Dec-2022, against the resolution plan submitted under the IBC proceedings in 2019. The swift commissioning of the unit is an achievement that demonstrates superior project execution ability, resilience, and exemplary teamwork making this one of the fastest turnarounds of a stalled thermal power project.
