Adani Power set up the 1,600 MW thermal power in Jharkhand's Godda to supply power generated to Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) through a dedicated transmission line.

Adani Power had said in June that its Godda Plant had become fully operational.

Adani Power Jharkhand Limited (APJL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Power Limited, has achieved commercial operations date of its second unit of its 2 x 800 MW Godda Ultra supercritical thermal power plant (Godda USCTPP) on June 26 at Godda district in Jharkhand, the company said in a statement.

It said the reliability run rest, including commercial operation tests of the second unit of Godda power plant, was completed on June 25 in the presence of BPDB and Power Grid Corporation of Bangladesh (PGCB) officials.

The first unit of the power plant, with 800 MW capacity, achieved its COD in April this year.

Power supply from Godda USCTPP to Bangladesh's grid will further enhance energy security in Bangladesh, the company had said.

Mr Adani had met the Bangladesh Prime Minister during her visit to India in September last year.
