Adani Tiroda powerAdani Power is confident of commissioning the first unit of its Tiroda supercritical power project in Rajasthan in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. In an interaction with Electrical Monitor, Ravi Sharma, CEO - Adani Power Business, said, "The Tiroda power project is well on schedule and we are on track to commission the first supercritical unit of 660-mw in the first quarter of FY13."

The Tiroda power with an aggregate capacity of 3,300 mw comprises five supercritical units of 660-mw each. Two units will be set up in the first phase followed by three in the second. The project, located in Gondia district, is being implemented by group company Adani Power Maharashtra Ltd.

Speaking of other supercritical power projects of the group, Sharma said that construction of the 2x660- mw Kawai project in Rajasthan was in full swing. "We are confident that the plant will be fully commissioned by March 2013."

The Adani Group has been a proponent of supercritical power technology in India and also takes credit for commissioning India's first supercritical power plant. This feat was accomplished in December 2010 when Adani brought on line one 660- mw unit of the massive Mundra power plant. Recalling the achievement, Sharma observed, "It was synchronized within 36 months of inception, which is the fastest implementation ever by any power developer in the country."

The Mundra project today has a total generation capacity of 4,620 mw, also making the world's largest private sector thermal power plant at a single location. The power plant has nine units-four of 330 mw and five supercritical units of 660-mw each.

Summarizing Adani's plans in the power sector, Ravi Sharma noted, "We at Adani are operating 4,660 mw of thermal and solar power today and are in an advanced stage of construction of more than 5,000 mw by end of 2013."
