-­‐ Now  at  2.8%  of  India's  electricity  generation  in  FY  2014-­‐15  
-­‐ Equal  to  Power  Demand  for  the  City  of  Mumbai  
-­‐ Can  cater  to  energy  requirements  of  over  3  crore  Indians

New  Delhi,  April  24,  2015:The  completion  of  Jindal  Power  Limited's  (a  subsidiary  of  JSPL)  landmark  

2400   MW   expansion   project   at   Tamnar   (Chhattisgarh)   has   resulted   in   JSPL   Group's   Installed  Generation   Capacity   in   Raigarh   belt   reaching   4294   MW,   thereby   achieving   UMPP   scale.   With   the  completion   of   the   mega   expansion   project,   whose   4thUnit   of   600   MW   was   synchronized   today,   the  Groups   installed   capacity   now   stands   at   37.6   Billion   Units   of   Electricity   annually,   i.e.   3.58%   of  India's   Electricity   Generation   in   2014-­‐15.   The   completion   of   2400   MW   expansion   project   takes  

Jindal   Power   Limited's   (JPL)   installed   capacity   to   3400   MW,   thereby   making   it   thelargest   power   producer  in  the  State  of  Chhattisgarh.    

"Jindal Power Ltd's generation capacity of 3400 MW, i.e. 29 Bn Units of electricity per annum, is a step forward to build a nation of our dreams. The state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art power facility built using fully indigenous turbine technology in a record time and is truly a hallmark specimen of 'Making  In  India',said   Mr.  Ravi  Uppal,  MD  &  Group  CEO  -  JSPL. "The completion of our ambitious 2400 MW expansion in record time gives a significant boost to our confidence to deploy our skills and energy to operate these plants at optimal load factors",  he  added.    

JPL's   generation   capacity   of   29   Billion   Units   now   stands   at   2.86%   of   India's   electricity   generation  (1048  Billion  Units  in  FY  2014-­‐15).  The  installed  generation  capacity  of  Jindal  Power  at  3400  MW  has  the   potential   to   cater   to   the   peak   power   demand   of   the   City   of   Mumbai.   Based   on   national   per  capita  consumption  of  electricity  at  957  KWH  (Source:  CEA  Report),  the  installed  capacity  of  JPL  can  cater   to   over   3   crore   Indians.   In   addition,   JSPL   has   installed   Captive   Power   Generation   Capacity   of  
854  MW;  540  MW  at  Dongamahua  and  354  MW  at  Raigarh.  JSPL  Group  has  created  over  20,000  jobs  
and  anchors  a  socio-­‐economic  ecosystem  for  50,000  families.    



"Jindal Power's current thermal power generation portfolio of 3400 MW has established benchmarks of project execution, operational efficiencies and record turn-­‐around times in the Indian Power sector",   said   Mr.   Ravi   Uppal,   MD   &   Group   CEO   -­‐   JSPL."With the progressive measures being introduced by the Government for ensuring abundant and affordable availability of coal to power producers, we remain optimistic about achieving optimum levels of power generation in the near future. We are committed to participate towards the fulfilment of the vision of our Prime Minister to provide 24x7 power to all households, industry and farmers ",  he  added.
The   project   execution   capability   of   JPL   has   been   duly   recognized   by   the   Central   Electricity   Authority  (CEA)   by   conferring   two   awards   for   "Early   Completion   of   Thermal   Power   Projects".   In   2013-­‐14,   the  second   unit   (2x600   MW)   was   awarded   the   Gold   Shield   along   with   the   Silver   Shield   for   the   first   unit  (1x600   MW)   under   a   Ministry   of   Power   initiative   for   recognizing   meritorious   performance   in   power  sector.  The  first  and  second  units  of  the  4x600  MW  plant  have  already  achieved  full  load  operation.  The   third   unit   was   synchronized   in   FY   2014   in   just   16.2   months   from   start   of   boiler   erection.   The  fourth   unit   achieved   full   load   operation   within   23   months   from   the   commencement   of   boiler  erection.    

About  Jindal  Power  Limited

Jindal   Power   Limited   (JPL),   a   subsidiary   of   Jindal   Steel   &   Power   Limited,   is   one   of   India's   leading   power  generation   companies   with   a   project   portfolio   in   various   stages   of   operation,   implementation,   development  and  planning  in  thermal,  hydro  and  renewable  energy  sector.    

Jindal  Power  Limited  has  a  total  installed  power  generation  capacity  of  3400  MW  in  Chhattisgarh  making  it  the  largest   power   producers   in   the   state   of   Chhattisgarh.   JPL   set   up   India's   first   Independent   Power   Plant   (IPP)   in  the  private  sector-­‐  1,000  MW  Thermal  Power  Plant  at  Tamnar  in  Raigarh  District  of  Chhattisgarh.  All  four  units  of  the  IPP  (4X250  MW)  were  commissioned  within  a  span  of  nine  months.    

JPL  has  signed  a  MoU  with  the  State  Government  of  Jharkhand  to  set  up  a  2640  MW  thermal  power  plant.  JPL  has   also   signed   agreements   for   development   of   three   hydroelectric   projects   with   combined   capacity   of   6100  MW   in   Arunachal   Pradesh   in   joint   venture   with   Hydro   Power   Development   Corporation   of   Arunachal   Pradesh  Limited  (HPDCAPL).
