The coal linkage for the Anuppur plant has been allocated under the SHAKTI Policy by the Government of India. “As India’s power demand continues to rise, driven by rapid economic growth, especially the base load power, it is imperative to invest in robust energy infrastructure to meet the nation’s growing needs,” said SB Khyalia, Chief Executive Officer of Adani Power. He further noted that “the Anuppur plant will play a pivotal role in ensuring reliable, affordable, and competitively priced power for households and businesses, strengthening India’s and Madhya Pradesh’s energy security and fuelling continued progress in the state.” The project is anticipated to generate employment for approximately 6,000 to 7,000 people during its construction phase and provide jobs for 1,000 personnel once operational.
This development marks the fourth major power supply order for Adani Power in the last year. The company previously secured a 6,600 MW order from Maharashtra in September 2024, a 1,600 MW order from Uttar Pradesh in May 2025, and a 2,400 MW order from Bihar in August 2025. Adani Power is expected to finalise the Power Supply Agreement with the State Discom soon. This expansionary move demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to bolstering India’s power infrastructure to meet the escalating energy needs.
