BI India BureauFeb 5, 2016, 19:41 IST

Adani Power is all set to set up a $2.2 billion coal-based Power plant in Jharkhand.

The company plans to build two power units with a total capacity of 1,600 megawatts (MW) and construction is expected to begin by December. The electricity from the Jharkhand units would be sold to Bangladesh.

Flagship Adani Enterprises is currently fighting legal challenges to start a $7 billion mine coal near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The company wants to take its electricity generation capacity in India to 20,000 MW this decade through Adani Power.

An Adani Power spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
