Background
The power station was operated by Sterlite Energy, a subsidiary of Vedanta Resources, a London Stock Exchange company. It comprises four 600 MW units near Jharsuguda.[3]
The first units of the plant (1 and 2) were commissioned respectively in November 2010 and April 2011.[4]
As of February 2012, Sterlite Energy was in final stages of acquiring 633 acres of land required for a coal ash pond for the power station.[5]
The final unit 4 (600 MW) was commissioned on April 25, 2012.[6]
Captive power
Although the government previously denied Vedanta requests to allow conversion of certain 600 MW units to CPP (Captive Power Plant) capacity for its aluminium smelter,[7] CEA reported that one unit was converted from IPP to CPP in August 2021.[8]
