Patna: The Adani Power Limited has proposed investment to the tune of Rs 7,000 crore for setting up 1320 (610x2) MW thermal power station and undertake mining in Urma Pahari coalmines located in Jharkhand.
APL Chairman Gautam Adani submitted this proposal at a meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at the state secretariat here last evening.
However the Centre has allotted the Urma Pahari coal block to Bihar to meet its requirement of coal for thermal power stations.
The Chief Minister directed the chief secretary, development commissioner and principal secretary (industries) to go through the proposal for augmenting power and take a decision at the earliest.
