The site is near Sindi Railway, a few kilometers from Butibori, where Reliance has already set up the 600 MW Butibori Power Project in 2012-2013. The company applied for a terms of reference toward an environmental permit in October 2013.[1]
However, as of November 2017 the project has yet to receive any necessary permits, and plans appear to be deferred or abandoned.
