Driven by JSPL’s vision and ideologies, Jindal Power Limited (JPL), a subsidiary of Jindal Steel &
Power Limited, is a leading power company in India across the energy spectrum: thermal, hydro and
renewable. JPL has been contributing significantly to the growing needs of power in the country and
its installed capacity is 3400 MW.
JPL commissioned the first unit of its 4x250 MW thermal power plant in the Raigarh district of
Chhattisgarh in 2007, becoming the first private player in the country to set up an
Independent Power Plant (IPP). Since then, this flagship has operated as a fully
integrated power plant at an industry-leading Plant Load Factor (PLF) of 93% (average for last seven
years).
Since its inception, a 6.9 km long cross-country conveyor belt (the second longest in Asia), was
installed to feed coal to the plant. Among the other integrated facilities built by JPL are a dam to
feed water to the plant and a 258-km long 400-KV double circuit transmission line to pump the power
into the National Grid.
Buoyed by the success of its 4x250 MW plant, JPL has further expanded its presence in Tamnar with a
2,400 MW (4X600 MW) thermal power plant. With the completion of the mega expansion project, 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 has taken Jindal Power
Limited’s (JPL) installed capacity to 3400 MW, thereby making it one of the largest private power
producer in the State of Chhattisgarh. JPL has emerged as a best performer in Ministry of
Power and Central Electricity Authority project execution excellence study and won two National
Awards- Gold Shield and Silver Shield for early completion of Thermal Power Projects. The
2400 MW super thermal power project was completed in a record time.
To optimize its operation, the company has adopted leading edge technologies, efficiency processes
and world best practices in project execution and management, thereby setting new benchmarks in
India’s power sector. JPL has consistently topped the Central Electricity Authority’s highest plant
load factor list among the major thermal power plants (above 200 MW capacities) in India.
JPL aims to emerge as a significant player in the power industry based on technical and managerial
capabilities thereby contributing towards nation building.

INTERNATIONAL
1x150 MW Coal based Power Project at Mozambique, Africa
Jindal Mozambique MineraisLimitada – a Jindal entity – owns and operates a 3 MTPA mining concession
at Chirodzi in the Tete province. The mine has been operational since March 2013 and production can be
further expanded to 10 MTPA. Jindal Mozambique MineraisLimitadamines its own coal and exports coking
coal to its steel plant in India. It has allocated capacity on the Sena rail line. A 1x150 MW power
plant with a provision of adding another 150 MW capacity unit is to be developed within the mining
concession by a Jindal entity "Jindal InvestimentosLda.PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), is in advanced
stages of negotiation
2x175 MW coal-based power project at Senegal, Africa
As a part of its global venture, the company envisages setting up of 350 MW (2x175MW) imported coal
based power project at Senegal in Africa. The company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with the Republic of Senegal and Senelec (Sociéténationaled'électricité du Sénégal), a national
electricity company incorporated under the laws of Senegal. A power purchase agreement has been signed
with Senelec. The project is currently in development phase.
