The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Thursday, approved equity investments of Rs 5,607 crore by state-owned South Eastern Coalfields and Mahanadi Coalfields to establish two thermal power projects with a combined generation capacity of 2,260 MW.
According to an official statement, the decision was made at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.
According to the release, South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) would establish a 660 MW thermal power plant through a joint venture with Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Co. Ltd. (MPPGCL).
Similarly, Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) would build a 2x800 MW thermal power plant through Mahanadi Basin Power Ltd (MBPL), a subsidiary of MCL.
SECL will provide equity capital of Rs 823 crore (plus or minus 20 per cent), with an estimated project capex of Rs 5,600 crore (plus or minus 20 per cent) for the proposed 660 MW supercritical thermal power plant at Amarkantak Thermal Power Station in Madhya Pradesh, through a joint venture of SECL and MPPGCL.
