In line with the MoU, UCPPL is developing a 1980 MW coal fired Sagar Super Thermal Power Project in the state. The project is coming up on Nayachar Island near Haldia and is being developed in two stages - Stage-I: 2×660 MW and Stage-II: 1×660 MW."

Universal Crescent Power received a terms of reference for Stage I (1,320 MW) in May 2011.
