Vedanta Power Portfolio
Talwandi Sabo Power Limited
Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL), a subsidiary of Vedanta Limited, with an installed capacity of 1980 MW (3x660 MW) is the largest private thermal power plant in North India. It marks Vedanta’s first major foray into the power sector and stands as the largest private sector investment in Punjab.
A super critical coal-based thermal power plant located in Village Banawala in Mansa District, TSPL generates and supplies 100% of its power to Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL), and fulfills 30% of Punjab’s power needs, illuminating countless households across the state and empowering state’s progress.
Incorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle by the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB), TSPL has power purchase agreement in place with PSPCL (erstwhile PSEB) and has been supplying power to it, since 2014.
Meenakshi Energy Limited
A landmark acquisition through the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) process in August 2023, Meenakshi Energy Limited (MEL) stands as a testament to Vedanta’s expansion in the power sector.
Situated in Thamminapatnam, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, the plant is being implemented in two phases with a total capacity of 1000 MW — comprising two units of 150 MW and two units of 350 MW. Meenakshi Energy is a strategic asset due to its proximity to the Krishnapatnam port, which allows it to utilise both domestic and imported coal.
MEL reflects Vedanta's commitment to operational excellence, energy security and ESG commitment. The plant operates on 100% saline water, sourced from Kandaleru Creek, eliminating use of freshwater.
Vedanta Limited Chhattisgarh Thermal Power Plant
In the year 2022, Vedanta Limited acquired Athena Chhattisgarh Power Limited (a half-built thermal power plant) through liquidation proceedings under the provisions of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 which subsequently got amalgamated with Vedanta Limited by virtue of an order in July 2023 passed by Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Hyderabad. Pursuant to the amalgamation, the plant was renamed as Vedanta Ltd. Chhattisgarh Thermal Power Plant (VLCTPP) and consists of 1200 MW power generation capacity with two units of 600 MW each. This plant is located in Singhitarai, District Sakti, Chhattisgarh.
Jharsuguda Thermal Power Plant
In Odisha, Vedanta operates a 600 MW thermal power plant in Jharsuguda, dedicated to meeting the state's energy needs under a power purchase agreement with GRIDCO (Grid Corporation of Odisha Ltd.).
Driving a Brighter Future
India is the world's third-largest power producer, yet its energy demand significantly exceeds supply. As the nation experiences rapid economic growth, a reliable and efficient power sector becomes essential. Thermal power remains a backbone of India's energy infrastructure, playing a vital role in addressing the country's increasing energy needs. Its capacity to meet growing demand is critical for sustaining industrial operations and driving overall economic progress.
As per studies by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), India's base load demand in 2032 will require a coal and lignite-based installed capacity of 283 GW. To achieve this, the Government of India (GoI) plans to add at least 80 GW of coal-based thermal power capacity by 2031-32. This presents a major opportunity for Vedanta Power to expand its operations, supporting industrial growth and economic development. With reliable energy being the foundation of progress, Vedanta Power is dedicated to meeting the nation's energy needs efficiently and sustainably through advanced technology integration.
At Vedanta Power, we are not just generating electricity — we are igniting progress, empowering communities, and shaping a sustainable future for India. With innovation at the core and excellence as our driving force, we continue to power the nation towards a brighter and more prosperous tomorrow.
Thermal power remains vital to India’s energy landscape, especially in meeting peak summer demand. Backed by government initiatives, rising coal production, and advancements in emission control, the sector holds strong growth potential. We are committed to powering India’s economic progress while driving a transformative ESG journey. Through cutting-edge technology, we are reducing our carbon footprint, moving closer to our goal of achieving water positivity, enhancing operational efficiency, and prioritizing workplace safety—all while fostering holistic socio-economic development.
