Source of financing: phase I: US$2,440.74 million in debt from SBI Capital Markets, State Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, Syndicate Bank, Bank of India, Andhra Bank, Federal Bank of India, Punjab & Sind Bank, Vijaya Bank, and Life Insurance Corporation of India; US$314.92 million in equity from Adani Group;US$74.06 million in debt from the State Bank of India
Background
The power station was developed by Adani Power Rajasthan Limited (APRL), a subsidiary of Adani Power.[1] In its 2010-2011 annual report, Adani states that:[2]
- "a power purchase agreement has been executed with Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited and Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited for the sale of 1,200 MW power for a term of 25 years at a tariff having a non-escalable component and an escalable component for fuel & fuel transportation with yearly escalation as notified by CERC escalation indexes from time to time.
- "In addition, land and water requirement for the implementation of the Kawai power project has been fulfilled. The environmental clearance for the power project has been recommended by Expert Appraisal Committee, MoEF, GoI. An application for domestic coal linkage to meet the coal requirements of the Kawai power project has been made. Entire 1320 MW capacity is expected to be commissioned by FY14."
According to the Central Electricity Authority, Unit 1 will be commissioned in January 2013 and Unit 2 in April 2013.[3]
The power station was commissioned in January 2014.[4]
Financing for Phase I
In July 2011, a financing agreement for phase I was closed. US$2,440.74 million in loans was provided by SBI Capital Markets, State Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, Syndicate Bank, Bank of India, Andhra Bank, Federal Bank of India, Punjab & Sind Bank, Vijaya Bank, and Life Insurance Corporation of India. US$314.92 million in equity was provided by Adani Group. SBI Capital Markets acted as the financial adviser to the sponsor.[5]
In April 2014, a second financing agreement to finance the working capital needs of phase I was closed. The State Bank of India provided US$74.06 million in loans to the project.[6]
Phase II expansion
In September 2014, Adani Power applied to expand the power station by 1600 MW.[7] However, there has been no further progress, and it appears that the project is cancelled.
