Adani Power Buys 600 MW Vidarbha Unit for ₹4,000 Crore
Adani Power Ltd has bought a 600 MW power plant in Vidarbha, Maharashtra for ₹4,000 crore. The company completed the deal on July 7, 2025, after getting approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). This step increases Adani Power’s total operating capacity to 18,150 MW. It is a major move towards the company’s goal of reaching 30,670 MW by 2030.
Adani Power Ltd (APL) has taken over the Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd (VIPL) plant through the insolvency resolution process. This power plant is located in Butibori in the Nagpur district of Maharashtra. It has two units, each producing 300 MW, using domestic coal. The deal was approved by the Mumbai Bench of NCLT on June 18, 2025, and fully completed on July 7, 2025. The total deal value is ₹4,000 crore.
With this acquisition, Adani Power now has a total capacity of 18,150 MW, making it India’s largest private thermal power company. It operates thermal power plants across states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, and Karnataka. It also runs a 40 MW solar power plant in Gujarat.
APL is working to reach 30,670 MW capacity by 2029-30. It is currently building six brownfield Ultra Supercritical Thermal Power Plants (USCTPPs) in Singrauli-Mahan (MP), Raipur, Raigarh, and Korba (Chhattisgarh), Kawai (Rajasthan), and a greenfield plant in Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh). The company is also restarting work on a 1,320 MW supercritical plant in Korba, acquired earlier.
SB Khyalia, CEO of Adani Power Ltd, said the company is committed to helping India achieve its goal of “Electricity for All”. By adding more base-load power plants, Adani aims to supply reliable and affordable electricity for the country’s development. APL wants to grow not just through new projects but also by upgrading and using its existing locations wisely.
