As per official sources, JSW Energy has asked India’s insolvency court to allow it to participate in an auction for the Amarkantak Project where the power sector company has offered a better value price offer than Adani’s bid. The official was referring to a bid at 41 billion rupees [$494 million] which it had made last month and Adani’s power bid increases from a previous offer of 29.5 billion rupees to 30.2 billion rupees, extensively from state-run lenders Power Finance Corporation[ PFC] and REC Ltd.
Private investments in coal-based power in India started staggering after 2018, hitting hard by lower demand and transforming fuel efficiency towards green renewable sources. It is one of the many distressed coal-fired private power stations engulfed in insolvency proceedings in recent years as owners did not have fuel supply or the funds to complete them.
