Jindal Power Limited (India)

Jindal Power Limited (JPL) is a leading power company in India that specializes in thermal, hydro, and renewable energy. The company was incorporated in an unspecified date and is located in the Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh. JPL has an installed capacity of 3400 MW and has been meeting the growing power needs of the country. In 2007, JPL became the first private player in India to establish an Independent Power Plant (IPP) by commissioning the first unit of its 4x250 MW thermal power plant in Raigarh. The plant has operated at an industry-leading Plant Load Factor (PLF) of 93% on average for the past seven years. JPL has also built integrated facilities such as a 6.9 km long cross-country conveyor belt to supply coal to the plant, a dam to provide water, and a 258-km long 400-KV double circuit transmission line to distribute power to the National Grid. Building on the success of its 4x250 MW plant, JPL expanded its presence in Tamnar with a 2,400 MW (4X600 MW) thermal power plant. With this expansion, JPL's installed capacity now stands at 37.6 Billion Units of Electricity annually, accounting for 3.58% of India's Electricity Generation in 2014-15. The completion of the 2400 MW expansion project has made JPL one of the largest private power producers in Chhattisgarh. JPL has been recognized for its project execution excellence and has won two National Awards for early completion of Thermal Power Projects. The company has adopted advanced technologies and efficient processes to optimize its operations and has consistently ranked at the top of the Central Electricity Authority's highest plant load factor list among major thermal power plants in India. JPL aims to become a significant player in the power industry by leveraging its technical and managerial capabilities to contribute to the nation's development.
